intro

Exciting techno and keyboard-based latest single from Bearsuit, their first in a rejigged line-up

‘Please Don’t Take Him Back’ is the first single to emerge from upcoming album 'The Phantom Forest', and the first taste of Bearsuit's rejigged sound after their line-up underwent a bit of a transformation. Gone are the brass and strings so central to the old-Bearsuit sound, with keyboards and techno-rhythms taking their place. But worry not, Bear-fans; this is still very much a Bearsuit song, although it’s probably as straight-pop as they’ve ever been. The familiar male-female back-and-forth vocals are still there to enjoy, and the bridge gets pleasingly wonky, with sci-fi bleeps and whirrings leading us into a shouty finale. It’s certainly a new Bearsuit, but with all the charm and songwriting prowess still intact. It’s an exciting change and one that can only mean good things for their upcoming LP.
