more morr music mores: seabear
While I was looking into Morr Music the other day, I also found Seabear (myspace). There was a song playing under a slideshow and I had to go through all the Morr artists until I could figure out who it was.
They’re out of Iceland and make almost-whisper-voiced music with acoustic accompaniment. It’s smooth, but interesting and well-orchestrated. They remind me of Mojave 3 or Neil Halstead’s solo stuff.
Seabear - I Sing I Swim (mp3)
Seabear - Singing Arc (mp3)
It looks like you can get the entire Singing Arc EP from their website. Amazon
They’re on tour, but unless you’re in Iceland or Europe, you’re out of luck.

I’m a huge fan. I saw them at an all-Icelandic night in Brighton this summer. They’re sweet-stumming boys and funky, multi-talented girls. Their sound is cool and gentle, and often puts me in mind of the lighter side of the Lemonheads. Great for moody Sundays!

[…] Adrian (me): The Year Of - Calling Sky (mp3) (buy) It came down to this and a seabear track for this week. It’s not often that I get obsessed with a 14 minute song and I didn’t actually listen to it that many times given the length, but more than any other song, I kept pressing “back” to hear it again. It’s got a nice post-rock like build along with interesting electro-organic instrumentation. For more, read what I said about it before. […]
