Acclaimed U.K. band, Bear’s Den, return with their third album So That You Might Hear Me out April 26 via Rounder Records. So That You Might Hear Me follows 2016’s critically lauded Red Earth & Pouring Rain, which debuted top 10 in the U.K. Fans can pre-order So That You Might Hear Me HERE.

Additionally, “Fuel on the Fire” and “Blankets of Sorrow,” the first tracks to be revealed from the record, debut today.

So That You Might Hear Me was recorded at several studios in Seattle with producer Phil Ek (The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty) and was mixed by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Metronomy). Pairing melodies with poignant and unsettlingly personal lyricism, the need for connection lies at the heart of the album.

Of So That You Might Hear Me band members Andrew Davie (lead vocals, guitar) and Kevin Jones (vocals, drums, bass, guitar) explain, “The album started out as an attempt at trying to communicate with someone honestly. Our thoughts are not all rational, not all considered or tied up with ribbons and bows. This album is an attempt to reveal the honest and difficult challenge of communicating with anyone that you really care about.”

In support of the release, the band will embark on an extensive run of North American tour dates this summer starting on May 6 in Austin, TX. The run of shows includes stops at New York’s Irving Plaza, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre, Nashville’s Marathon Music Works, D.C.’s 9:30 Club, Chicago’s Thalia Hall and more.
