New Album Preview From Bears!

Not to be confused with the Bears that gave us the terrifyingly amazing "Super Bowl Shuffle," Cleveland, Ohio's Bears are heavy on the indie pop and light on the awkward synchronized dancing.

For the time being the band is offering up, via Myspace, four tracks from their forthcoming album Simple Machinery. All four tracks are great, sounding like a mixture of the Lucksmiths and Acid House Kings, but it is the re-recorded version of "Wait and See" that has been on extended repeat this afternoon. The harmonies in that song are ridiculous, and it is proving to be the perfect counterbalance to the crippling hangover I have today from the Titus Andronicus show last night.

Simple Machinery is out sometime in September, but you can pre-order it direct from the band here.
