Zappagram #78: I put a spell on you

This week, I want everyone to listen to Morning Bear.

Morning Bear, the brainchild of Denver-based singer/songwriter John Runnels, is an orchestral indie folk project that channels emotion through vivid imagery and intricate melodies. Characterized by highly dynamic compositions, Morning Bear’s music is a synthesis of the calm and delicate stylings of artists like Bon Iver and Jose Gonzalez with the complexity and depth of the Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens. Featuring soaring vocals and atypical arrangements, including cello, violin, piano, and more, Morning Bear provides a textured landscape behind pop-influenced hooks.

Morning Bear’s latest single, “Splitting Of The Wood” kicks off this week’s Zappagram playlist. Check it out, as well as all the other incredible new music I’ve included.
