Recording project Mom & Bear is ready to release the 1st single "Everybody Wants You Dead" from the upcoming debut album "Bury Your Dead".
lyrics
Hiding in a basement, in a house in the country, we find Jens Rahbek, the main man and ideologist behind recording project Mom & Bear. Here in the basement he is composing, recording and producing the songs that make up the deut album from Mom & Bear. Emotions, snapshots and his deepest thoughts transform into a dystopic universe combined with an advanced musicality.
'Everybody Wants You Dead' is one of the oldest songs from the album. It was written about six years ago when the work on the album was also started, so it's very appropriate to release that song as the first single. At the same time, it is also the song that has undergone the greatest transformation, from its original form, where it was a more silent and laid-back song, to end up being a "go-at-it-alone” song. It is also the last song that was finished for the album, why it also bears a huge sigh of relief.
The song draws on many musical references and inspirations. It is at once both gloomy and breathtaking, organic warm and electronic cold, dystopian and hopeful. The sound is voluminous and at the same time anxiously vibrating into the endless atmosphere.
Lyrics and music are written by Jens Rahbek, and the song has found its final and refined form in a creative exchange with the help of fellow musicians Torben Guldager Rasmussen (Peppermint B., Jørck and The Warmongers) and Jacob Abildgaard (Black Horse).
We invite you to enter the welcoming and at the same time disturbing universe og Mom & Bear.
