Bear in Heaven’s fourth album, “Time Is Over One Day Old,” is now streaming on NPR’s “First Listen.” The band, while from Brooklyn, doesn’t sound like its music was made on U.S. soil, and that’s its magnetic draw. The eclectic group, formed by John Philpot in 2003, incorporates krautrock and psychedelia to create a sound all their own.
“Time Is Over One Day Old” will be released Aug. 5 on Dead Oceans/Hometapes. You can also just skip right ahead and listen to “Autumn” and “Time Between” via Soundcloud. Pandora is expected to host the stream next week, so there’s plenty of opportunities to check them out.
