Polar Bear 'It Snows Again (Live at The Spitz)' (2007)

Observer, The Big Ask, Live CD, Polar Bear, It Snows Again, Live at The Spitz, mp3
Elegant, stately jazz procession from Seb Rochford's Polar Bear.

Polar Bear meld together post-rock, found sounds, electronics and brainfuckery into their sometimes loquacious, sometimes frantic, sometimes poised and beautiful jazz. They play in the same deep water as Triosk, Tortoise, Morphine, The Drift and, on this tune, even rubbing shoulders with the great Stan Tracey's 'Starless And Bible Black'.

'It Snows Agains' was recorded live at the The Spitz in 2007 - the venue has sadly since been replaced by property-developer flats. It meanders gently at a stately pace, accumulating feedback and noise along the way, distrupting the otherwise elegant surface.
