Minus the Bear on tour in support of upcoming album

Omni, Minus the Bear's fourth full length and first on Dangerbird Records [ADA], comes out on May 4th. After extensive touring in support of their last album, Planet of Ice, Minus the Bear wanted to incorporate that live power and intensity on Omni.

Thanks to the talent of producer Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket/White Stripes), Minus the Bear has brought that live energy without losing their... "quirky time signatures, hyperactive riffs, and prodigious hooks. There’s a lot more groove, a lot more soul, a lot more feeling that comes across" (dangerbirdrecords.com)This record is a truly honest evolution of their sound and vision. It's a little rock, a little pop/electro, and a little funk with those ever-so-familiar hooks and melodies. You have to check this out.
