Minus the Bear Twin Tigers, Tristen November 26, 2010

Minus the Bear have always avoided easy classification, preferring to tread their own inimitable path defined by energy and invention. "OMNI," the Seattle-based band's fourth full-length recording and debut Dangerbird Records release, sees a stunning evolution to their sound and vision. As evinced by the album's all-encompassing title, Minus the Bear have merged their myriad influences into a sweeping collection marked by its slinky and sensual melding of city-stomping rock and deep funk grooves. That spirit of sonic lasciviousness is mirrored in the album's raw take on human sexuality - a theme as intricate and elaborate as the band's extraordinary music. Boldly experimental yet instantly accessible, "OMNI" is Minus the Bear's most provocative and potent work to date.
