Seabear - “Arms”

On paper, some things just don’t sound like they should go together, like indie-pop/folk and Iceland, for example. But Seabear, a 7-piece band from Reykjavik, Iceland pulls off this interesting combination beautifully. Feeling a bit like Fanfarlo at times (even though they predate Fanfarlo by at least a year), the music has a layered and upbeat-yet-dreamy quality that all too easily sucks you in. This track off their excellent 2007* debut, The Ghost That Carried Us Away, is a perennial favorite.

* We’ve reached that time of year where nobody is really releasing anything, so it’s a great time to browse your catalogue for those things you’ve been overlooking for far too long. Seabear is a band I’ve loved for a while now, and I was more than slightly embarrassed to learn that I hadn’t posted them here yet. Consider me appropriately shamed.

…Well worth checking out!
