So it was an interesting time for the band to undergo a stylistic sea change. Looking beyond their fellow guitar slingers, Minus the Bear instead found inspiration in the more adventurous pop producers of the era and went full steam ahead with a revamped sound of glitchy guitar loops, modern R\u0026amp;B rhythms, and swirling electronic tapestries on their 2005 sophomore album Menos el Oso. The stylistic shift was a gamble in the waning years of indie rock orthodoxy, but the risk paid off and Minus the Bear's popularity exploded. Twenty years later, Menos el Oso still sounds fresh and vibrant while simultaneously capturing the essence of a specific era where the rules and formulas of guitar-forward music were breaking down. To celebrate the album's anniversary, Suicide Squeeze Records and Minus the Bear are offering up Menos el Oso (Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition), featuring an expanded tracklist including five previously unreleased demos. \r\n\r\nThe eleven tracks comprising the original Menos el Oso remain untouched for this deluxe edition. From the moment the needle hits on \"The Game Needed Me,\" the listener is reminded that there's no need to mess with keyboardist Matt Bayles' air-tight engineering and production on the album. The template is established right away: David Knudson's staccato guitar samples and pedal modulations, Erin Tate's souped-up club beats, Cory Murchy's syncopated backbeat basslines, Bayles's heady synth hooks, and guitarist\/vocalist Jake Snider's soulful guitar lines and trademark croon. \r\n\r\nThere's an element of revelry and melancholy across the entire album as Snider casually describes vignettes from the band's first overseas tour-a six-date tour of Spain. These lyrical scenes drape the album in the excitement, yearning, aimlessness, and exoticness Hemingway captured in his rendering of The Lost Generation in The Sun Also Rises, achieving a similar dichotomous fusion of celebration and reflection. The centerpiece of the album-\"Pachuca Sunrise\"-encapsulates this duality with such enduring and profound power that one cannot talk about indie rock in the first decade of the new millennium without including it in the pantheon. Songs like \"Drilling\" and \"The Fix\" further reinforce the lyrical and musical themes of the album as they describe an American contemplating the distance between their home country and the foreign shores of the Mediterranean Sea against a backdrop of chirping guitars and drum patterns that fuse the poptimist pulse of the era with the sweaty subterranean rock embedded in the band's pedigree.\r\n\r\nMenos el Oso (Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition) expands the original LP into a double album featuring five demos mastered by Ed Brooks at Resonant Mastering on side C and an etching by Cory Murchy on side D. These early incarnations of four Menos el Oso tracks and \"I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien\" from the They Make Beer Commercials Like This EP showcase how razor-sharp and sonically satisfying Minus the Bear were even when their songs were still being workshopped. As companion pieces to the album, these alternate takes shine a light on the creative process of a band undergoing a sonic evolution while also just being solid standalone tracks. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the expanded tracklist and side D etching, the vinyl version of Menos el Oso (Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition) features updated artwork in a gatefold jacket with a matte gloss and spot UV varnish, a 24-page photo booklet, and a vinyl cut by Bernie Grundman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Game Needed Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Memphis ; 53rd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Torrente\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pachuca Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michio’s Death Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hooray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fulfill the Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pig War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Ain’t A Surfin’ Movie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hooray (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drilling (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pig War (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michio’s Death Drive (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I’m Totally Not Down With Rob’s Alien (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 803238082516 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Suicide Squeeze \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 8.22.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BWSCD, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525182181597,"sku":"803238082516","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4437609-3408468.jpg?v=1750969450"},{"product_id":"minus-the-bear-menos-el-oso-20th-anniversary-deluxe","title":"Minus the Bear- Menos El Oso (20th Anniversary Deluxe) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBack in 2005, Seattle quintet Minus the Bear were riding the wave of a swift upward trajectory with their blend of '90s mathrock fretboard savvy, early '00s electro-indie textural depth, and the wistful melodicism of the more mature strain of Midwest emo.

As companion pieces to the album, these alternate takes shine a light on the creative process of a band undergoing a sonic evolution while also just being solid standalone tracks. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the expanded tracklist and side D etching, the vinyl version of Menos el Oso (Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition) features updated artwork in a gatefold jacket with a matte gloss and spot UV varnish, a 24-page photo booklet, and a vinyl cut by Bernie Grundman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Game Needed Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Memphis ; 53rd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Torrente\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pachuca Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michio’s Death Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hooray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fulfill the Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pig War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Ain’t A Surfin’ Movie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hooray (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drilling (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pig War (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michio’s Death Drive (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I’m Totally Not Down With Rob’s Alien (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 803238082523 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Suicide Squeeze \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 8.22.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525346250973,"sku":"803238082523","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4437608-3408469.jpg?v=1750973741"},{"product_id":"minus-the-bear-this-is-what-i-know-about-being-gigantic-1","title":"Minus The Bear- This Is What I Know About Being Gigantic (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey, Wanna Throw up?

Album opener \"Last Kiss\" immediately establishes the band's renewed fervor. An appropriately dizzying guitar line plunges into a propulsive groove before the chorus unfolds into a multi-tiered pop chorus. From there the album flows into \"Give \u0026amp; Take\", a tightly wound exercise in syncopation that recalls the celebratory pulse of early Bear classics like \"Fine + 2 Pts\" while exploring new textures and timbres. \"Invisible\" is arguably the catchiest song of the band's career, with Jake Snider's vocal melodies and Knudson's imaginative guitar work battling for the strongest hooks. \"What About the Boat?\" reminds us of the \"math-rock\" tag that followed the band in their early years, with understated instrumentation disguising an odd-time beat. \"Erase,\" recalls the merging of forlorn indie pop and electronica that the band dabbled with on their early EPs, but demonstrates the Bear's ongoing melodic sophistication and tonal exploration. By the time the band reaches album closer \"Lighthouse,\" they've traversed so much sonic territory that the only appropriate tactic left at their disposal is a climactic crescendo, driven at its peak by Cory Murchy's thunderous bass. Not since Planet of Ice's \"Lotus\" has the Bear achieved such an epic finale. All in all, it’s an album that reminds us of everything that made us fall in love with Minus the Bear in the first place, and a big part of that appeal is the sense that the band is heading into uncharted territories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive \u0026amp; Take\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall the Cops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvisible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat About the Boat?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTame Beasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobotic Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighthouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984936161501,"sku":"803238015224","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3533655.jpg?v=1762928313"},{"product_id":"minus-the-bear-bands-like-it-when-you-yell-yar-at-them","title":"Minus The Bear- Bands Like It When You Yell Yar at Them (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpritz!!!

It's been used to set a distinction between the unique brand of complex indie rock they introduced on their first EP, and the more angular and aggravated sounds of their previous bands Botch, Kill Sadie, and Sharks Keep Moving. It's also a tag that was thrown around frequently in the wake of their streamlined fourth album, OMNI. And it's a descriptor that immediately comes to mind within the first few seconds of their classic second formal EP, They Make Beer Commercials Like This. Beer Commercials is the evolutionary step between Minus The Bear's first two landmark albums, Highly Refined Pirates and Menos El Oso. Opening track \"Fine + 2 Points\" remains one of the band's strongest opening tracks in their discography, charging out of the gates with a syncopated stomp that comes across as a more agitated take on Kylie Minogue's \"Can't Get You Outta My Head.\" If Minus The Bear were looking to make pop music without any of it's major-scale bubblegum trappings, they nailed it here. The band follows it with \"Let's Play Clowns\" and \"Dog Park\"-nods to Highly Refined Pirates' formula of frenetic clean guitar work, bombastic choruses, and Jake Snider's lyrics of detached romantic nostalgia. These tracks may represent Minus the Bear's original trademark version of pop but on songs like \"I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien,\" the band eschews it's restless energy for atmosphere and dynamics, creating a sound that's inspired more than a handful of contemporary melodic post-rock bands. By the time the band belts out \"Pony Up!\" the listener has watched the three-year sonic transition between Minus the Bear's first two full-lengths transpire within under half an hour, with their earlier math rock predilections yielding to the tightly wound club-banging pedalboard trickery that defined their sophomore album. Even if Beer Commercials doesn't fit within your definition of pop music, the unorthodox energetic charm of this relatively low-profile release serves as an exciting reminder of why Minus the Bear became one of the most important and influential indie rock bands of the new century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine + 2 PTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Play Clowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDog Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey!

The title alone conjures images of Yes's Relayer album art, and the influence of the elder statesmen's symphonic scope can be felt throughout Planet of Ice's lush and intricate arrangements.
