‘American War’ by Bear, Man Dangerous | “No matter how far you run, it’s never enough”
Exclusive track premiere of ‘American War’ by Bear, Man Dangerous.
Bear, Man Dangerous is a shoegaze / post rock influenced project. We recently covered their latest EP, ‘Unofficial Coworker’ with an interview. Bear, Man Dangerous. takes its inspiration from bands like This Heat, Russian Circles, Shellac, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Yuki Numata Resnick and Fugazi to name a few. – Bear, Man Dangerous.
“This song was inspired by the Omar El Akkad novel of the same name. In this space I imagine how the actions of today (e.g. Book bans, stochastic terrorism, tribalism, income inequality and a transcontinental malaise metastasizing in America’s collective imagination) may be bringing us closer to the world Akkad created for Sarat and Dana Chestnut.”
“It seemed sensible to crave safety, to crave shelter from the bombs and the Birds and the daily depravity of war. But somewhere deep in her mind an idea had begun to fester-perhaps the longing for safety was itself just another kind of violence-a violence of cowardice, silence, submission. What was safety, anyway, but the sound of a bomb falling on someone else’s home?” –American War by Omar El Akkad
