Fools
Fools’ Harp Vol. I
Boomkat Product Review:
The first solo release from Christopher Bear, drummer and multi-instrumentalist of the much loved ’Grizzly Bear’, pivoting to lushly electronic dream pop somewhere between Art of Noise, later period Prefab Sprout and Enigma - we ain't complaining.
"Often finding the structure and form of a more traditional ‘song’ and the concept of an album too restrictive, Christopher finally set aside a six week period in the summer of 2019 to explore the possibilities of jamming alone and seeing where it took him: recording each instrument himself and then responding through improvisation to his own recordings, Whilst doing most of the recording in a digital set up, he also set out to capture some of the same mental and sonic space from his time recording on 4-track.
The results of these Fools’ sessions, he explains, feel “almost more like a mixtape than an ‘album’ per se” to him. With a sense of the dichotomy between nostalgia and the future, ‘Fools’ Harp Vol. I’ seeks to transport the listener to a world both familiar and comforting, exploring something undiscovered while maintaining a deep sense of openness and curiosity."
