Blouse (who was recently in NYC to play 285 Kent) and Doldrums have been added as openers to Bear in Heaven‘s upcoming tour. That tour culminates in NYC with shows happening on May 8 at Bowery Ballroom and May 9 at MHOW. Tickets for both shows are still on sale. All dates are listed below.

Bear in Heaven’s new album, I Love You, It’s Cool (due out April 3 via Dead Oceans) is still streaming at 400,000% slower than actual speed at the band’s website. They recently spoke to VICE about it

VICE:Are any of your fans who were drawn in by the pop sound bewildered by this experiment? How’s the overall fan response?

Bear in Heaven: So far the response has been great. Bear in Heaven fans can handle our artistic leanings. I read one thing on Twitter where a person asked if we were printing the drone on vinyl. He wanted to know so he could buy a new shelf.

For a more apparent sample of the album, you can grab the track, “The Reflection of You,” above or stream it below.

Speaking of Doldrums, he’s one of the guests on Grimes‘ upcoming album Visions, which you can now stream in full on NPR. The album is due out on February 21 in the US via 4AD. Grimes plays three NYC shows on her upcoming tour.

All dates and stream below…
