February 14th is a day to spread the most important ingredient in human interaction. The devious and often mischevious angel of happiness we all call LOVE. Bear the Astronot is playing cupid this year. (And I must say he looks shocking in those little wings and a cloth diaper. Photos he will not release to the public for some reason.) In honor of the holiday he has released his new song "Girls Looking at Me" as an online download. The song is only available via his SnoCap store which can be found all over the web. To take a listen visit www.reverbnation.com/beartheastronot or visit his myspace page at www.myspace.com/beartheastronot . "Girls Looking at Me" is an upbeat R&B flavored ditty, that is obviously a new realm for Bear the Astronot.
"I wrote this song for my wife" he says. "Just as that cute song that all girls wish their boyfriend would write them. It came out well, but it would have been out of place on my album "Cricket Songs". I figured I would release it for Valentines Day." The Arizona MC/Producer who is more known for his dark, energetic, synth- laden ,and overtly political rhymes, says he is releasing more music like this on purpose. "Everyone is trying so hard to be Underground, or Club, or Pop. Sometimes my songs are dark and abstract, sometimes my songs are light and happy. My life isn't always cohesive and organized…..so I guess neither is my music."
With the recent release of his album "Cricket Songs" (which he released along with 12 free downloads. Check the links at the bottom of this post for more info) and the release of his single "Girls Looking at Me" for Valentines Day, I asked what Bear the Astronot had on his plate now. "I am working on my Sophmore Album…writing and in the lab, but my main goal right now is the release of my Instrumental album Turntable Kachina "Roots". I will be trying to have that out in the next month or so. I am really proud of it. It is a mix of Hip Hop breaks, downtempo, and all forms of electronic and dance. My favorite instrumental stuff so far." If you are unfamiliar with Turntable Kachina, it is Bear the Astronot's side project. Turntable Kachina is a display of his more diverse production talents.
