Exclusive video premiere of ‘Something Stranger’ by Bear of Bombay.

Written during last spring’s covid19 lockdown, ‘Something Stranger’ is the second single excerpt from the eponymous Bear of Bombay debut EP, set for release in early 2021. It’s the journey of a robot man in an intergalactic city, a cold but colourful krautrock trip, a cadenced and catchy research in the realms of synthetic sounds.

Active in the Italian underground scene since the 90s and after having played at major festivals, sharing the stage with the likes of Mark Gardener (Ride) and Sophia, Lorenzo Parisini now starts a new course characterized by ethereal electric guitars and synth carpets, rhythmic loops and minimal harmonies, giving birth to a very personal hybrid of psychedelia, electronica, shoegaze and new wave.

Here and there Bear of Bombay music may remind of bands like LCD Soundsystem, Tame Impala, The Notwist and The Vacant Lots; but at the end of the day, this is an extremely original piece of art, re-metabolizing new wave, 90s and 2000s indie-rock, contemporary psych-pop, dreampop, shoegaze and indietronica in a very personal way.
