OK Bear

OK Bear, the third full-length solo album from Jeremy Enigk (Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft), offers a surprising sense of intimacy while staying undeniably Enigk. <br><br>BIO: In the nineties, Jeremy Enigk s on-again off-again relationship<br>with Sunny Day Real Estate (and the short lived The Fire Theft) cast him<br>as a sort of enigmatic emo-rock icon. Overused genre classifications and<br>debatable perceptions aside, there s a depth to Enigk s work that confirms<br>his undeniable musical contribution. 96 s Return Of The Frog Queen<br>stands as a standard of grandiose chamber pop. So it s no surprise that<br>World Waits, a mere two years old, is already becoming an intelligent pop<br>music classic in its ghostly transcendence. The simple fact that Enigk s solo work has kept the rapt attention of diehard fans in an oversaturated media wasteland with a mere two releases over the course of an entire decade is a testament to the depth of Enigk s craft. Now he s back to round out his releases with the playfully titled OK Bear, the minimalist rock combo answer to his dramatic orchestral discography.
