THE BEAR QUARTET – Carry Your Weight

2009-12-11 20 years ago, the Berlin wall fell. At the same time, in the great big cold and dark nowhere of northern Sweden, The Bear Quartet was born. The band has ever since combined an impressive productivity – 14 albums and 16 EP:s – with not only musical unpredictability and pathological integrity, but also consistent acclamations and praises from the critics.

This is an EP consisting of the second single from the album “Carry Your Weight” accompanied by 3 versions of the same track.

1. Carry Your Weight (The Bear Quartet original Single version)
The title track and the original version is the last to one track of the album. It lures in the background but here enters the main stage both with scent of incense and slow caressfull dancing.

2. Carry Your Weight (M.A. Numminen cover version)
Second track is a legendary meeting between two up north legends. The Finnish cult singer M.A. Numminen and his accordion playing supporter Pedro has made this completely unique version.

3. Carry Your Weight (Strange Maps Remix)
Petter Granberg is usually a member of the excellent indie outfit Park Hotell, but he also makes slow Norwegian/Brooklyn influenced disco under the moniker Strange Maps. This version is made for forest dancing and attic parties.

Carry Your Weight (VED-remix)
There is a new scene growing in Malmö, Sweden. It is nothing you have ever heard before and is derived from unique and mystic clubs like Klubb Kristallen and Stephen Hawkins and labels like Lugnet and Psychic Malmö. One of the differential artists is the one man band VED. Here he creates a deep ambient, sunken marshy ground version, for your nightmares.
