Minus The Bear with As Tall As Lions, Twin Tigers

The more distant you get in our solar system, the more the planets tend to be covered with ice; from the lunar South Pole to the rings of Saturn, the substance seems to coat the outer reaches of our universe like a snowy blanket. Alternately, for the past six years, Seattle's Minus the Bear have orbited the music world like a distant meteor, fine-tuning their unique brand of indie rock and discovering how technology can help enhance the band's unique pop vision-all of which has culminated with their most recent full-length Planet of Ice, an album showing the band not so much transforming their sound as transcending it.
