Silver Bear Mist, Sunroof!’s first release in over two years, is an epic double-CD of inimitable buzz. Recorded during a period when guitarist Matt Bower (Skullflower) was also concentrating on writing material with Marcia Bassett of Double Lepoards for their duo, Hototogisu, Silver Bear Mist diverges from recent releases like the collagy USSA, Splat, Wings Over America, and the last major Sunroof! release - the krautrock-ish Cloudz - to revel in thick, billowing fuzz bombs. Aided by Vibracathedral Orchestra’s Mick Flower and US duo The Skaters, Bower lets rip on rockers like the Tibetan-oriented “Buried in the Sky” and the immense “Sky Blue Sword.” Disc two mixes it up a bit, with the unexpectedly docile “Stacked Diamonds” featuring The Skaters, alongside the scouring surge of Bower leads on “Be Sure to Boogie” and “Luminous Kite.”
