Indie Folk Act Bear’s Den Share Latest Single “Shadows” From Forthcoming Full-Length ‘Blue Hours’

With their highly-anticipated new album Blue Hours set for release on May 13th via Communion Records, folk-rock duo Bear’s Den – made up of Andrew Davie and Kevin Jones – return to offer up the release’s latest heartfelt single “Shadows”.

Following on from the previously unveiled offerings “All That You Are” and “Spiders“, “Shadows” continues the pair’s compelling and textural sound. With a warm piano and rustic vocals are the forefront, the song’s ambient aura and compassionate songwriting come through loud and clear.

Speaking about the new single, Andrew Davie said, “The song is generally about talking to someone who is struggling with their depression. The chorus is saying I want you and all the shadows that walk beside you and all the difficult things that come with you and I guess that’s talking about someone’s depression… The point of the song is saying just hang in there and I’ll be there. I think that’s probably why it felt right for it to be a quite triumphant sounding song amidst the darkness and sadness of the song…it’s quite dark but deserved an epic approach”.

While Kevin Jones added, “It’s a positive song, it’s talking about unconditional love. We wanted the energy to be there”.
