Claude says:Bear's Den are a London duo who started making widescreen folk anthems in 2009, eventually earning an Ivor Novello nod and touring with Mumford & Sons — this EP dropped a year before their debut album landed them on the UK charts. It's earnest, surging indie folk with big choruses and close harmonies, the kind of thing that felt urgent in 2013 when the folk revival was still cresting. You grabbed it the month it came out and played it hard that September, then kept circling back through 2015 and 2017, especially drawn to "A Year Ago Today" and the title track.
