Golden Bear is an independent rock group from Austin, Texas.
Golden Bear's sound is driven by themes of hope and excitement.[1] They have released three full-length albums,[2] Golden Bear (2006), To the Farthest Star (2007), Alive (2011)[3], and one EP entitled Everest (2009).[4] Golden Bear's first album drew comparisons to Built to Spill and Modest Mouse,[5] while spin.com praised it for its "unparalleled crescendos and soaring choruses".[6] The album also featured members of Voxtrot and the Black Angels (band).[7] The band's second album drew comparisons to The Soft Bulletin-era Flaming Lips ".[8]
Golden Bear is currently working on a third LP, to be released in late 2009/early 2010.[9]
