Bear Away release a brand new cut via the seven-song EP called A 7 Step Guide To Happiness coming from Sell the Heart Records on October 24. The effort is delivered as a single-sided, 12-inch vinyl release with a custom etching on the b-side. It also features contributions from Her Head’s On Fire, Time Spent Driving, Neckscars, Hotlung, and Shotclock. Order it here.
Of the song, vocalist/guitarist Josh Booth says, “Like most of our songs, it’s about wasting your life, or the determination not to. It’s about the traps we unconsciously fall into, the prisons we build for ourselves. That’s what the ‘modern mountains’ are, these massive ugly buildings in which we spend decades of our lives making ourselves miserable to serve a purpose we don’t even believe in. With it being Bear Away, we had to chuck a few nautical metaphors in there too.”
