Following up Distraction’s epic expansiveness, You’ll Pay For This pulls the band into songwriting overdrive, featuring big booming melodies and experimenting with different textures and rhythms. Produced by guitarist Ted Feldman and James Brown (Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys) and mixed by Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), the album brims with nervous energy with the opening track “I Won’t Pay”, bounds with the angular staccato of “Déjà Vu”, textural propulsiveness of “Marathon Man”, and concludes with the warped lilt of “Purpose Filled Life.” It’s a career-defining moment for the band who effortlessly displays the dexterity and tight songwriting skills they’ve gathered fro m their previous releases.

 

Bear Hands is Dylan Rau, TJ Orscher, Val Loper and Ted Feldman. You’ll Pay For This will be released on April 15, 2016 by Spensive Sounds.
