The new album by the legendary The Bear Quartet, entitled “Monty Python”, was initiated straight after the recordings of the former “comeback” album “89”. The band even played a couple of tracks from it on their follow up tour to the album. “89” was the beginning of new creative phase. It all started with a label switch from their original label A West Side Fabrication to Malmö based Adrian Recordings. And in the rush just seems to keep going on.
About the new album, the same can be said as of the previous. On the one hand it has all the typical ingredients from the bands career up until now. On the other, it sounds like nothing they’ve ever recorded before.
This is the first single from the album. It is called “Fist Or Hand”.
The track is very well reflected in the bonus track that comes with it on the single. Here we get a sweet soft reggae version from Jamaican artist Desmond Foster. Desmond that was brought up in England, now live in Stockholm Sweden and has released one solo album. He is also a well sought-after studio musician that has played with artists like Aswad, Boy George and David Byrne. On vocals we find Gordon Cyrys.

Fist Or Hand
W: Mattias Alkberg M: Mattias Alkberg & Jari Haapalainen
My flame is tamed and now it’s yours, if you follow the beat. Yes, there have been palms attempting before but they couldn’t stand the heat. What’s the matter nervous lover? Are you a chicken or a man? Is this wrestling or embrace? Is this fist or hand? Drum rolls and fireworks, canons and guns. Where do you stand? Resting or dying, free or left out. Do or disband? What’s the matter nervous lover? Are you a chicken or a man? Is this wrestling or embrace? Is this fist or hand?
