Scene Trek
 
(by Dawn Reed) I've fallen in love all over again, this time with drone pop from the Brooklyn based genius trio known as Bear in Heaven. Their latest release I Love You, It's Cool is 10 tracks of electronic splendor that set soundscapes for chaotic daydreams... I honestly have been listening to only this album for a week straight. Perfection.  And this video for the first single "Reflection of You" brings the chaos visually with director of Wonder Showzen fame, John Lee, at the helm.

"Born in Innsbruck, Austria, Benjamin‚ Bensh’ Zombori studied composition in the UK in 2004. Still in Cardiff, he joined forces with virtuoso synth-wizard Sion Trefor. Initially a wildly experimenting duo, Bensh evolved into a noise-popping three piece when multi-instrumentalist Sevo joined the band. The band lived and worked in Japan, Germany, UK, Austria and Iceland. Bensh are currently dividing their time between their homebases of Cardiff, UK and Vienna, Austria. May 2012 will see Bensh touring the UK, and they plan to return to the U.S. this fall."-Sneak Attack Media

Oh my Omaha! Nebraska's shoegazey droners Conduits just released their S/T debut with 8 gorgeous tracks showcasing their influential range of post rock to 70s elements. In this track/video for "Last Dirge" they get haunting with a beautiful blend of surf licks and a drum rumble that keeps you swaying while vocalist Jenna Morrison busts out her hushy echoing flair.
