Polar Bear Acoustic album out soon!

Tom Aylott — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:11:27 +0000

So, with Polar Bear Club heading over to the UK this summer, we thought it’d be a great time to remind everyone of the kuve acoustic album that they’re bringing out very soon and all the dates you can catch the band at in the UK this year.

First up, listen to ‘Burned Out In A Jar’ using the SoundCloud player in this article.

Here’s the blurb from b9 on the release:

“A package deal including a vinyl copy of Polar Bear Club’s Live at The Montage on the rarest variant available at the time of purchase, a T-shirt, and a sticker.

Polar Bear Club return with a 9-song live collection from their hometown show last July at the Montage Theater. Recorded and engineered by Jay Maas of Getaway Recordings (Defeater, Bane, Cruel Hand), this collection truly captures the energy and urgency of Polar Bear Club’s amazing live show. Live at the Montage Music Hall features songs spanning from all over Polar Bear Club’s musical career thus far – tracks off of their debut album Sometimes Things Just Disappear, from their first B9 album Chasing Hamburg, and to their most recent masterpiece Clash Battle Guilt Pride, making this a must-have album for any fan of Polar Bear Club.

Track Listing:
1. Burned Out in a Jar
2. Light of Local Eyes
3. Living Saints
4. Bug Parade
5. Slow Roam
6. Left and Leaving [the Weakerthans cover]
7. Religion on the Radio
8. At Your Funeral [Saves the Day cover]
