Indie-folk artist Bears Banquet is back with a brand-new single that promises to lift your spirits and transport you into a state of joyous bliss. Titled “Jovial Trance”, this upbeat track showcases Bears Banquet’s characteristic vocals, accompanied by electric and acoustic guitar melodies. After a musical journey that took him from the guitar-driven indie folk genre to exploring electronic music, Bears Banquet’s long-awaited debut is finally here.
In the early stages of his career, Bears Banquet, known offstage as Adam Baring, caught the attention of acclaimed musician Ivor Novello and Brit award-winning producer Steve Robson. This recognition led him to the studio, where he came close to signing with Island Records. However, in 2018, Baring’s musical preferences took an unexpected turn towards electronic sounds, causing him to set aside the guitar-driven indie folk genre. As a result, his Bears Banquet catalog remained confined to his hard drive, waiting for the right moment to be released. Fast forward to 2022 when Matthew Davies of Dojang Records convinced Baring to unearth his musical treasures and share them with the world. This pivotal moment marked the rebirth of Bears Banquet and the start of an exciting new chapter. The release of “Jovial Trance” brings Baring’s previous works to light, allowing listeners to finally experience the unique sound he has been cultivating behind closed doors.
“Jovial Trance” takes listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the carefree days of youth and the camaraderie shared among friends. The artist explains that the song encapsulates the joy and fun of embracing everyone’s individual quirks within a close-knit community. The catchy vocals, steady rhythm, and fusion of live recorded drums and repetitive synth blips all contribute to the song’s irresistible appeal, making it an instant earworm that will linger in your mind.
