Susan Bear on Bandcamp.
I literally reviewed Truman Black yesterday so Susan Bear must have bought a Home Goods walkie-talkie (ordered from The Grove of course) and has a hotline with the Milky Way’s underpaid intern and was like “Oh BOY do I have a song for you that’ll make you want to lick a cloud.” Licking is not very electrocool, but “Drift” does make me want to go outside. Bear’s new EP is great. Check out “Shake (Say Yes)” next. Passion Pit is rolling in his self-care grave and we all get to benefit.
