Maker of the Bear, an indie-rock duo hailing from Lexington, North Carolina, recently released the single, “Last Thing.” It’s a wonderfully layered song, and each piece of the sonic puzzle – from the meandering bass to the bright acoustic guitar – fits together perfectly. The song is moody, with lyrics like, “I can’t shake this feeling / I’ve been stuck to the ceiling of my own trap door,” and “I’m not afraid of death / I’m just scared to let go of the last good thing I’ve ever known.” Fans of bands like The Backseat Lovers and Medium Build are sure to enjoy the track, and should look out for Maker of the Bear’s forthcoming album.
