Muchos vieron en "Voids", su último disco, una vuelta al sonido de sus inicios. Otros vieron en él un síntoma de agotamiento. Y en cierto modo Minus The Bear les dan la razón ahora. "Voids" cierra para ellos una etapa, un círculo si se quiere ver así, y será definitivamente el último larga duración del grupo, que se separará a finales de año después de una larga gira norteamericana. El 19 de octubre lanzarán un último EP a modo de despedida, titulado "Fair Enough", a través del sello que les ha acompañado durante la mayor parte de su carrera, Suicide Squeeze Records. Contendrá tres descartes de "Voids" y un remix de "Invisible", uno de los temas de dicho disco, a cargo de Sombear (Brad Hale).
Aquí os dejamos el primer adelanto del EP y el comunicado con el que se despide el grupo, aunque si queréis saber más podéis leer la entrevista que han dado para Stereogum a propósito de su disolución.
"Friends,
After almost two decades of writing and touring the world together, we have decided to close this chapter of our lives as Minus the Bear.
What started as a silly inside joke inside the dingy confines of Seattle’s original Cha Cha Lounge back in 2001 quickly snowballed into years of adventures, creativity, and friendship. We could have never predicted the wild journey about to begin. We’ve accomplished so much over the past 17 years, and we are grateful for the experience.
Undoubtedly we owe all of these adventures to you, our fans. Without all of you, the memories of traveling the world, exploring different cultures, and witnessing the delight of your beautiful faces singing along wouldn’t have been possible. Your support weathered us through storms that easily could have scuttled the band. Throughout the years, it’s you who kept us going. We cannot thank you enough.
This Autumn we head out on our final tour in support of our upcoming 4-song EP “Fair Enough” courtesy of Suicide Squeeze Records.
These final shows are a celebration for the community of fans who gave us so much through years of dedication. We’ll be digging deep in the MTB catalogue and we are honored for the opportunity to play our hearts out for you one last time.
Love,
Alex, Cory, Dave & Jake"
