Bear's Den perform 'Elysium' for The Crypt Sessions
-----------------------
London based trio, Bear’s Den joined us recently for a hauntingly powerful performance of their single, Elysium. It’s an elegiac paean to the redemptive power of friendship and the song that marked the point Bear’s Den, for many, went from best kept secret to new favourite band!
Bear's Den are, Andrew Davie (guitar, vocals), Joey Haynes (guitar) and Kev Jones (drums, bass). Inspired by Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s classic ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, Bear's Den create music which whisper it dares to be both literate and profound while, crucially, remaining universally accessible. Since forming in 2012, the trio have built a fervent fanbase through their live shows and a dedicated DIY aesthetic that originally saw them self-fund tours and sell hand printed CDs direct to fans at gigs.
2014 has been quite the year for them; having played alongside the likes of Mumford and Sons and Daughter and not to mention sold out shows aplenty in their own right across the U.K. and U.S. Their critically acclaimed debut album, Islands was released earlier this year and recorded with long-term producer Ian Grimble at Church Studios. It’s lyrically both restrained yet richly descriptive, the product of Davie’s novelistic approach to songwriting.
‘Elysium’ is taken from the debut album, ‘Islands’ which is out now on Communion Records.

And the band will be touring the UK and Europe early next year, culminating in a massive headline show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 3rd March. Listings for the full tour as well as tickets as all up on the band’s official site here: www.bearsdenmus...
We’re delighted to let you in on the first of two sessions recorded for The Crypt Sessions. Enjoy.

My older Brother, he was the coolest dude ever. He was flying everywhere following his team Liverpool. Time after Time he was taking the knocks. Such a sweet guy and again im driving from North Wales to see him after hes had a stroke! Driving back to North Wales this came on the radio and every word so precise! Just hold out against the night Guard, your hope with your life... Now Love Bear's Den and still Love my Brother...

'Brother do you believe in an afterlife, where our souls will both collide'. Rest in peace Conor. You were the best friend I could ever have asked for. I love you man, happy birthday.

In a different society and environment, this video has billions of views... but then again, it also, somehow, feels good to see it's not that way.

I think the mixing on the original was all wrong, the vocals were so quiet compared to everything else. The vocals for bears den should always be at the forefront as daveys vocals and song writing are so good.

I connected with this song in the months when my uncle was dying from Motor Neuton Disease. My mum is his older sister and it just resonated with what her and my aunts were going through and every time I hear it, it breaks my heart. But it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life and I’ll keep listening

These guys are, IMHO, nothing short of the best band to come along in the last 10-15 years. Amazing lyrics. Amazing vocals. Amazing instrumentals. So much raw emotion it almost hurts to listen to sometimes. Whenever I hear the line "For the darkness, she will come... oh and you'll have nowhere left to run" I pretty much have a midlife crisis right then and there X-D. But really this song is about innocence and hope. Try not to lose it, people.
