Guided By the Spirit of the Blue Bear - Portraits of Self Destruction (2025)
Green Cassette, Self-Released?
Guided By the Spirit of the Blue Bear is a Bedroom-Screamo band from two 1/3rds of the country, New York and Texas. Two things of note; They love cats, and they love making me cry with their beautiful emo lullabies.
My first experiences with a lo-fi, midi-esq drum beat on an emo record were “Brave Little Abacus’s” SEGA-Genesis that they converted into a de facto drummer, and the squeals of Tyler Odom’s fore-fronting bedroom skramz project, “Your Arms Are My Cocoon”, with their soft yet angsty aggressive delivery.
Blue Bear was a band that was properly introduced to me through friends. I had been reached out to about a house show they were playing in New York. I had work at the time that night in Pennsylvania so naturally, going to the show seemed out of the question, until by divine intervention, I got called off work. So at 4pm with nothing to do, I made the impulsive decision to drive 3 and a half hours to see them play and to hang out with friends. My tail had already been wagging by just being around my favorite people in one of my favorite scenes, but when Blue Bear came out with Acoustic guitars, a bass with a 1x8, a stylophone, and a snare/hi-hat/trashbin-kick in this maybe 4-Resident house with maybe 20-30 people. The intimacy that I felt listening to these bedroom projects on my own time, suddenly felt real for a moment. These are some of my favorite compositions from some of the most talented folk in the country, if yr gloomy, be Guided, by the Spirit of the Blue Bear 🐻 ⭐️
