about

"This double A-side is a powerful introduction to Bear Paw’s bittersweet, escapist landscape" - Safe Kind of High.

'Poignant, melodic indie-folk shot through with melancholy, like a stick of Blackpool rock' - Mad Mackerel

‘Plaintive and forlorn… this three song single is for those of us with an ear for good music and lyrics. The Kinks seem an obvious comparison' - London Unsigned

‘You’re unlikely so hear an acoustic fronted band that will stir your emotions this much any time soon… sublime in its simplicity’ - We Close Tonight

'Distinctive melodies and poetic lyrics make them stand out from the landfill indie' - This is Most Definitely Now

'Apollonian and blue, dulcet and brisk folk music' - Nessi Holt, Music Hour
