Mom & Bear - Bury Your Dead

Locked in a basement, in a house in the beautiful countryside, we find Jens Rahbek Johansen, who is the man behind Mom & Bear. In this basement he records, composes and produces everything for his band. Emotions, snapshots and his thoughts are conveyed into immediate and dystopic lyrics, combined with an advanced musical universe. Even though the title of the album ‘Bury Your Dead’ in many ears will sound evil and morbid, the album is about burying the dark and gloomy thoughts, putting away your bad habits and looking forward.

The result is a contrasting work that draws on many musical references and moods. It is both gloomy and breathtakingly propulsive, organic warm and electronic cold, dystopic and hopeful. The sound is voluminous and simultaneous anxiously vibrating into the endless atmosphere. ‘Bury Your Dead’ contains both the magnificent sacral of Arcade Fire and the galloping empty desert landscapes of Other Animals.

The nuances of the predominantly alt. rock and dark folk universe have been refined over the years, but always with the offbeat chords, the haunting vocal, the roaring turmoil, morbid lyrics, and the lurking melodies in the center of it all. The catchy melodies and riffs gives you a desire to dance and sing along while the lyrics and the buzzing noise underneath leaves you with nightmares on the retina. It is at the same time an intriguing and disturbing universe to enter. All at your own risk.
