Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures Bonuscast No. 1

Recently, The Bear And The Sea made an 8tracks mix (now featured on the home page of the 8tracks!) called Retronautilus, described as “[a] mix of refined pleasures [i]nspired by the moonlit, foggy coastline along Highway 101 and beamed straight into the tape deck of your 1981 Ferrari 308.” In response to its warm reception, The Bear decided to expand the mix with additional tracks and samples and turn it into what we’ve coined a Bonuscast — an additional mix thrown in alongside our monthly Listening Pleasures. We hope you dig it. (And be on the lookout for episode 24 curated by IG88 later this week!)

Monthly podcast: Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures

Arriving with Episode 18 of Listening Pleasures, Miori presents us with an eclectic but refreshingly uncomplicated mix of his recent synth pop and downtempo inspirations. Blending obscure talent and close colleagues with seasoned and established artists, this mix glides high above the noise and the clatter, providing you with the perfect autumnal transition into the winter months. Woody opens up during a hypnotic trance, Dandelion Council floats your speakers, and the Little Dragon Remix is sexy as hell.

Silent Night instrumental cover by The Bear and The Sea

The Bear and The Sea got all Christmas-y on us and made us this sweet Silent Night cover (and artwork!), free for download. In his words:

I never thought I would make a holiday themed track. Ever. But late one cold night when I was bleary eyed, half asleep and trying to finish up another project I had a bright idea. Yes! Silent Night! I totally need to cover that song! Equal parts cheesy & awesome.
