Ticket Giveaway: Bear in Heaven @ Lincoln Hall, 7/17
Like many bands in town this week, the Brooklyn-based band Bear in Heaven are heading to Union Park to play the massive (and sold out) Pitchfork Music Festival.
Their most recent album, Beast Rest Forth Mouth, received the best new music award from Pitchfork, claiming, "Beast Rest Forth Mouth is as familiar-feeling as it is difficult to pinpoint. Mostly made up of textural, spacious three- to four-minute pop anthems with towering choruses, it's a welcome reminder that an album doesn't have to be bombastic to feel huge and important. Though not quite coming out of nowhere, Beast Rest Forth Mouth seems like a surprise gift--a striking consolidation of the spiky psych-prog tendencies of their debut into a pop framework."
While in town for the festival, the band will also be playing a show over at Lincoln Hall, so if you're not a fan of outdoor sets you can catch them Saturday night. The show is 18+ and starts at 10:30pm. Tickets are $14, or $7 with a Pitchfork Festival wristband.
