Oddly enough an article in my school's normally vomit-awful bi-weekly student publication alerted me to Minus The Bear's newest release, Planet of Ice. I eagerly bought it, as Menos El Oso is up there in my favorite albums.
Wow, this one is even better. MUCH better.
The only thing I didn't like about Menos El Oso is that it's too mellow overall, and Planet of Ice ramps up the variety a bit. Same basics -- guitar and spacey electronic effects fading in and out, mellow vocals.
This new album really is good, though... I'd definitely put it in my Top 10 of the year, which I will make soon.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Minus The Bear's Planet of Ice to anyone interested in a good indie/alternative rock experience.
