my experience

i first listen to ramblings of a lunatic. i don't remember how i found it, though it was probably through tiktok. i think i might've put good rhymes for bad times on my playlist as well in this time period.

and everybody else smiled back comes out. i listen to the album. i like it. i slowly start adding more and more songs to my playlists.

percipitation and every moonbeam every feverdream come out. i remember sitting in gym and waiting for class to end so i could listen to the ep in peace. i start listening to more and more different types of music, but bears in trees is a constant one. i start calling them my favourite band.

cassiopeia is released on the first of september, apathy is boring towards the end of the month. this part of the school year was not very good for me, but music helped me calm down and feel slightly better. i did listen to more punk and metal at schools because those are better for blocking out the sounds of the outside world. but in my room, when i was panicking or crying or feeling whatever big emotions i was feeling, i'd listen to bears in trees.

the year starts with a new single released in january: things that look like mistakes. the second part of the school year was a lot better. they announced a european tour, and i was able to go (see here for more!) ^-^ after that, they release hot chocolate, i wanna feel calm and we don't speak anymore as singles. their second debut album how to build an ocean: instructions is released on 26 april 2024.

last year i listened to a *lot* of music, and a lot of new music as well. this year, this wasn't the case, as i had my graduation project and i cannot work/draw while listening to music. but when i did listen to music, it was most often bears in trees. they have a special place in my heart, and their music still brings me comfort.
so far this year they have released left, right, goodnight and no love, no heartbreak.
