“Agape” is the new single from Bear’s Den debut album “Islands” is out now on Communion Records/Caroline International. “Agape” is a theme of spiritual, Christian love explored by the London-based trio Andrew Davie, Kevin Jones and Joey Haynes on their second EP released by Communion Records. Being inextricably linked with Ben Lovett it is unsurprising that Bear’s Den’s sound has a touch of Mumford about it, though that can be said of innumerable bands these days. Bear’s Den are distinguishable by Andrew Davie’s delicate and emotional vocal and their thrumming base drum.

Davie of Bear’s Den said of the video: “Gareth Phillips (director) is one of the funniest people we’ve ever worked with and also one of the most talented. This video is really all down to him and the hard work of his fantastic crew.

“We have been really fortunate to work with some incredibly gifted filmmakers in the past and Gareth is no exception.”
Bear’s Den debut album “Islands” is out now on Communion Records/Caroline International.

The single – produced and mixed by Ian Grimble (The 1975, Daughter) – will be released on February 2 through Communion Records.

Bears Den are a British alternative folk Rock band formed in West London in 2012. They released their debut album, “Islands”, late October 2014 on Communion Records, the label founded in 2006 by Bear’s Den member Kevin Jones with Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons and producer Ian Grimble.

In 2012 one of the band’s first tours – in which the band travelled across the United States of America in Volkswagen Campervans with Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Staves – was the subject of a 2014 documentary “Austin to Boston” by James Marcus Haney which premiered at the 58th BFI London Film Festival. Since then the band have toured the USA several times, in support of Mumford & Sons, Daughter and as headliners.

Bears Den, live in concert

Bear’s Den are London trio Andrew Davie, Joey Haynes, and Kevin Jones. The music they make is wholesome, warm, and engaging, and takes its influence from the likes of “Being There”-era Wilco, Ryan Adams, and a wealth of both folk and alt-country reference points.

The ethos of DIY is at the heart of everything Bear’s Den have done since their inception. Charging around the UK in a van playing to any venue that would have them, picking up support tours with the likes of Of Monsters and Men, Smoke Fairies, and Matt Corby, and concluding 2012 with a support slot for Mumford & Sons at London’s O2 Arena, Bear’s Den took time out and relocated to a cottage in Wales to record their debut EP, sold only at shows last year, and went on to record this Agape EP in Norfolk with Kristoffer Harris.

BEARS DEN – ” Elysium ” The Crypt Session

Bear’s Den perform ‘Elysium’ for The Crypt Sessions

London based trio, Bear’s Den joined us recently for a hauntingly powerful performance of their single, Elysium. It’s an elegiac paean to the redemptive power of friendship and the song that marked the point Bear’s Den, for many, went from best kept secret to new favourite band.
Bear’s Den are, Andrew Davie (guitar, vocals), Joey Haynes (guitar) and Kev Jones (drums, bass). Inspired by Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s classic ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, Bear’s Den create music which -whisper it- dares to be both literate and profound while, crucially, remaining universally accessible. Since forming in 2012, the trio have built a fervent fanbase through their live shows and a dedicated DIY aesthetic that originally saw them self-fund tours and sell hand printed CDs direct to fans at gigs. 2014 has been quite the year for them; having played alongside the likes of Mumford and Sons and Daughter and not to mention sold out shows aplenty in their own right across the U.K. and U.S. Their critically acclaimed debut album, “Islands” was released earlier this year and recorded with long-term producer Ian Grimble at Church Studios. It’s lyrically both restrained yet richly descriptive, the product of Davie’s novelistic approach to songwriting.
‘Elysium’ is taken from the debut album, ‘Islands’ which is out now on Communion Records.And the band will be touring the UK and Europe early next year, culminating in a massive headline show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 3rd March. Listings for the full tour as well as tickets as all up on the band’s official site here: http://www.bearsdenmusic.co.uk/live/

Ive been lucky enough to see exceptionally talented singer songwriter Jack Garratt a few times over this summer at different festivals, not is he only a gifted songwriter but his musicianship on piano or guitars is tremendous, His performances involve looping with percussive elements with guitar or keys, this is a session recorded for Burberry Acoustic.

Communion band Bears Den, and the song ‘Elysium’ was one of those tracks that became very personal to me very quickly. It made me think about my younger brothers and their transition from kids to adulthood — how they are carving out their individuality and quickly leaving youth, innocence, and wide eyes behind. “Brother don’t grow up…. /Just hope that age does not erase all that you’ve seen/Don’t let bitterness become you/Your only hopes are within you.” With the video, I wanted to capture elements of that transitional experience in my brother, Turner’s, life. I wanted to film him and his real friends doing actual things that they normally do. I wanted to document the actions and emotions of people at this age — the highs, the lows, the noteworthy and the mundane. I wanted to get inside what it feels like to be a teenager today. On a personal level, I wanted to freeze the last remnants of youth still left in my brother — to record him in this tender, fleeting age of early college years.
