Burning Bush Supper Club

Burning Bush Supper Club

Brooklyn’s Bear Hands steer a happy middle course between electronica and indie rock to create a quirky, enjoyable, and accessible release in Burning Bush Supper Club. These 11 well-paced songs feature stuttering synth rhythms, bouncing bass, terse drumming, and fuzzed-out guitars laid against a slew of nicely textured backdrops. Variety abounds here, from the structure of the songs to the vocals. “Blood and Treasure” is catchy riff-rock, “Julien” and “Wicksey Boxing” are atmospheric and lush, and “Tablasaurus” would work on the dance floor. Lead singer Dylan Rau has an intriguing chameleon voice that he morphs at will. He sings in a pinched falsetto on “Camel Convention” and the skittering standout “Crime Pays,” emotes in nasally bursts on “Belongings” and “High Society,” and “What a Drag” and “Can’t Stick Em” feature a crisp vocal bark. Though they do cover a lot of stylistic ground, track for track the songs are concise and catchy enough to be consistently fun, making this an energetic and exciting full-length debut.
