Be Strong by The 2 Bears

Released:  January 31, 2012
Rating:  70
Genre:  Alternative Dance

I don't know if it's proper to call this a debut, since it's more of a side project for Joe Goddard of Hot Chip and producer Raf Rundell.  The critics generally loved this album, though it seems that club music and electronica routinely get over-rated.  Don't get me wrong, there are some great tracks here, with just a couple fillers that lower the rating.  OIt is definitely worth checking out.

The influences are all over the place:  London Club, Caribbean, Techno, 80s, even some garage rock.  My favorite song is the Motown influenced Get Together.   The bass heavy title track, Be Strong is also excellent.
