Sasha & The Bear’s sound is a mix of fresh beats wrapped with live and acoustic instruments.
Artist Quote
Sasha & The Bear’s latest release ‘Out of My Mind’ is a drum and bass masterpiece depicting the heart wrenching affects of wartime on one’s psyche. The single begins with trippy synths sounding in syncopated rhythms, evoking a sense of uncertainty and suspense. The vocal back and forth between Sasha Daniel and Dov Eagle is balanced and refined, simultaneously providing cohesiveness and contrast in their uniquely paired vocal timbres.
The track draws inspiration from the Lebanon War and a particular soldier’s subsequent struggle with PTSD. The duo portrays the difficulty of maintaining relationships after trauma, and how often times hardships are left unspoken. ‘Out of My Mind’ is as poignant as it is undeniably catchy, inciting an important dialogue through a beautiful, lush soundscape.
