'On Message To Bears’ fourth LP Carved From Tides Jerome Alexander throws all caution to the wind and delivers an experience emotive enough to tug at every fibre in a heartstring. Released on 1 July, Carved From Tides sees Jerome eschew the arbitrary boundaries that have been erected between synthetic music and music made on more traditional instruments. Lead single ‘I’ll Lead You There’ is exemplary. Starting with a gloomy acoustic arpeggio that wouldn’t be out of place in the hands of Elliott Smith or Nick Drake, its folky textures are soon penetrated by a thudding beat over which collaborator Will Samson lends his tender reverberating vocals. The heart-wrenching mood of the arrangement lends it a depth of feeling that characterises the whole LP.'

'Jerome’s love of ambient music is highlighted in the opener ‘Never Be’. It’s a cinematic start to the album, replete with sweeping synths and strings. The muffled piano lends some rhythmic shape to its openness. It ends tempestuously, with thunderous bass raging against the dying synths as it refuses to go gently into the night.'

Of his mentality when creating Carved From Tides Jerome says:
"The album is supposed to reflect a transitional period in one's life, referencing change in circumstances, decisions, relationships with others and evolution as an individual, whether subtle or not, which thereby influences where you are now, and realising wherever you are now is ok, and that you are in a constant state of flux. When writing it, I was going through what felt like a very transitional period myself, and I guess this was my way of processing it."

'Composed, recorded and produced between both his home and studio in North-East London over the past year, Carved From Tides is Jerome’s most sophisticated work yet. The title refers to the capacity of something fluid and transitional to be able to affect and mould what appears to be solid and stable over time. It is through the fluidness of Jerome’s approach - in not pigeonholing instruments with expectations of what sort of music they should make - that Jerome achieves just this. The fluidity of music itself is the tide that he carves his masterwork from. And the success he achieves here is solid indeed.'

Andrew Davie, Joey Haynes and Kevin Jones – Bear’s Den to an ever-growing army of fans – formed a band in 2012. Two short years has seen euphoric word of mouth take them from early days of sofa surfing gigs via touring across Europe and North America to selling out their own 1500 capacity London headline show in May this year. All the while, their music has evolved into something spellbinding and beautiful; a gorgeous, enveloping sound driven by the steady hum of acoustic instruments and Andrew’s haunted voice delivering  “lyrically sincere and emotionally raw songs” (New York Times) that are “as timeless as heartache” (MTV). Arriving this autumn, their debut album Islands is astonishing – a record that perfectly marks the point where a band goes from best kept secret to new favourite band.

Released on Communion, Islands follows the band’s EPs Without/Within and Agape and their hugely acclaimed recent single Elysium (a track that came coupled with Marcus Haney’s remarkable short film). The album was produced by Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers/The 1975) at 2KHz Studio in North London. It features:

1. 	Agape
2. 	The Love You Stole
3. 	Above The Clouds of Pompeii
4. 	Isaac 
5. 	Think Of England 
6. 	Magdalene 
7. 	When You Break 
8. 	Stubborn Beast 
9. 	Elysium
10. 	Bad Blood

To mark the release of Islands, Bear’s Den play a series of intimate shows in key cities across Europe and North America. For tickets and information see http://po.st/BearsDenLive

Hold on to what you've chosen, 
The shadow will break by day, 
The years that will pass are golden, 

So they say, 
So they say. 

So they say, 
So they say. 

Someday we will reach the heights,
Somewhere up in paradise, 
And maybe we will come alive,

So I hope, 
So I hope. 

So they say, 
So they say. 

While the world keeps spinning and I'm singing that the 
Clocks keep ticking and 

So they say, 
So they say. 

Days spent living and feeling 
Like were slowly sinking in and 

So they say, 
So they say. 

Whose to say the whispers along the way 
Are stories told of you and I in vein? 
Guess we should of let em' stay, 
Let em' say, 
So they say. 

While the world keeps spinning and I'm singing that the 
Clocks keep ticking and 

So they say, 
So they say. 

Days spent living and feeling 
Like were slowly sinking in and 

So they say, 
So they say. 

While the world keeps spinning and I'm singing that the 
Clocks keep ticking and 

So they say, 
So they say. 

Days spent living and I'm feeling 
Like were slowly sinking in and 

So they say, 
So they say, 
So they say, 
So they say, 
So they say, 
So they say.

Lyrics:

Your skin it glowed like a neon sign
Drawn in to your bones still luminous
Tubes to bags on a pole at your side 
Couldn't stop our eyes from betraying us

Talking about time
Like it was ever on your side 

They sent you home and let hope ignite
Too young to know what it meant for you
Talk of cells in red and white
We played outside without a clue

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that love, will push us through

I watched the adults faces change
And I knew it was serious
Feigning strength to compensate
For our lack of experience

I never had a place for God
I still don't see where he comes in
Just genetic bad luck and flaws
Took the bravest soul there's ever been

An empty room with curtains drawn
And a feeling so dark
Throbbing ache in our hearts as we dragged on
You showed us how to keep our heads 
Never letting your smile fade
You were only a child,  but you were strong

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose 
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that
You have everything,  if you have anything
Kids to have and years to use
Never out of sight, always in our minds
No ones forgotten you.

Straight Line
