“Sometimes I just needed to make it even more abstract because some songs were almost a bit too much than what I could handle right now or than I would want to sing every night for two years,” Matsson says.

The album pre-order is now live. Order the deluxe edition from SC Distribution to get the album on cd and lp, an exclusive 7″ featuring “1904″ and a b-side of Frank Sinatra’s “Cycles,” two 17×22 posters printed on uncoated stock and an instant grat download of “1904.” You can also order bundles that include TTMOE’s entire back catalog on cd and lp. Secure your copy of There’s No Leaving now.

Premiering earlier this morning on Pitchfork, Bear In Heaven’s new video for “Sinful Nature,” off their third album I Love You, It’s Cool, encapsulates an acid trip induced version of the feature film Pretty Woman. Director David Yoonha Park based the video on his first experience with LSD: “a panic-inducing experience” that skated between watching the Masters tournament and failing to bring down the trip with the tape. BiH wanted something dark, feminine and trippy and the music video is just that; women clad in 80s garb promenade around the set, with shots of creepy manikins intermittently placed for quite a weird viewing experience. Watch above!
