About the new album, the same can be said as of the previous - 89. 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. The Bear Quartet never looks back and never stands still. By the end of the 90’s they were through with pop music. They just weren’t that interested in it anymore. They just couldn’t look themselves in the mirror any longer, knowing they created another sentimental gem like, there classic tracks, “Mom And Dad” or “It Only Takes A Flashlight to Create a Monster”. They just wanted something new.

So they made “Ny Våg” in 2001, had somewhat of a relapse to old sounds in 2003 with “Angry Brigade”, although there were a couple of songs heading in the direction that was to come. The band has gone from the noisy, literary rock of the debut through the more arranged still literary, followers via the orchestrated pop and country/easy-listening tinged era of “Everybody Else” and “Holy Holy” that grew into the rock beast that is “Moby Dick” and its sister “Personality Crisis”. Then they made “My War” and “Gay Icon” and they evolved more than developed and it all lead up to the two albums “Saturday Night” (2005) and “Eternity Now” (2006) that people still striving to understand. That was the end of The Bear Quartet Mk 1 and they took a break since they felt they had fulfilled every single musical aspiration they’d ever had.

All this was needed to bring us up to date. The new Bear Quartet started with a label switch from their original label A West Side Fabrication to Malmö based Adrian Recordings. Previous album 89 was the first on Adrian and a mark of a new era.
