Bear in Heaven follow up their wonderful album Beast Rest Forth Mouth with the same goth dance–pop that caught our eye back in 2009. The album is headed by the infectious lead single “Reflection of You,” which explores the space somewhere between Beach House and M83. It’s a groovy yet sophisticated take on a retro dance track, done to perfection. The rest of the album soars through speakers with a confidence that will undoubtedly bring the band more and more recognition. And while the album is nothing new for the trio, tracks like “Sinful Nature” will leave you wondering why you haven’t taken a good listen to this band before.
3/5 Stars
