Bear in Heaven @ Music Hall of Williamsburg in 2010 (BKLYN) (more by Chris Doss)

Brooklyn’s Bear in Heaven are set to release their new album I Love You, It’s Cool on April 3rd via Dead Oceans; the band’s first for the label. You can stream the album NOW, though they have slowed it down 400,000% so it will play until April 3rd. The savants explain the whole deal in a press release, which is posted on BrooklynVegan.

Bear in Heaven will kick off a 2012 headlining tour in late March, which reaches Chicago’s Schubas on April 18th. Tickets go on sale this Friday (12/16), at noon CST.
