Review
"Songs this strong generate a motion and power of their own, powered by a seemingly endless wellspring of hooks and asides... Golden Bear easily can give the sainted Arcade Fire a run for their money in tunes, energy and sheer exuberance. (****)" Austin American Statesman - Joe Gross --http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/stories/2006/07/20cds.html
Product Description
"To the Farthest Star" is a collection of eleven songs that deal with the themes of good, evil, hope, and dread, all set within the vast emptiness of a cold, dark outer space...But the songs themselves exude warmth. This album uses Golden Bear's auspicious debut as a launching pad, propelling itself farther and higher than anyone could have expected. "To the Farthest Star" promises a more intimate experience for both the band and the listener, emphasizing Gregory's songwriting and Golden Bear at their most collaborative while filling your head and heart with their patented Galactic-Forest Rock. The spirit and vision behind the Bear's songs have not changed, but "To the Farthest Star" pushes their sound to places your ears couldn't have imagined even existed.
