The songs of Bear In The Forest howl with spiritualism. It is built around folk music in the oldest, barest sense: joy and pain and a guitar coming together to produce sounds that resonate with ancestral memory. Bear, a.k.a. Alberto Kanost, has been writing and preforming songs under this moniker for about a decade, beginning when he was 15. Now at 24, he has had multiple iterations of bands and worked with two different producers to release two projects and a handful of singles. His collaborators and producers come and go, but it seems to always come back to just Bear and his guitar. In live performances, magic happens, and it's a challenge to capture it in recording; the music comes from what some would describe as a spiritual channelling that can be hard to recreate in studio settings.
After Bear's recent graduation from UW-Madison in 2020, BITF released a second project, showing growth in songwriting and a ever-shining vocal prowess. Bear In The Forest songwriting elaborates on thoughts in topics like mental health, nature, war, death, loneliness, love, and heart-break, but always holds onto a sense of joy.
