Call for Papers: PopMatters Celebrates The Jam in Massive Special Section

Bear in Heaven - "You Do You (Tropics Remix)" MP3 (PopMatters Premiere)

Bear in Heaven's Jon Philpot: "Tropics amazed us. They opened up our song "You Do You" like the retractable roof of an arena. It's slow and bumping. It's kinda like Phil Collins."

This past 14th of September, Hometapes re-released the critically acclaimed 2009 release, Beast Rest Forth Mouth, by Brooklyn’s Bear in Heaven. The re-issue includes a bonus CD of remixes (track list below) from the likes of Twin Shadow, Justin K. Broadrick, The Field, and more. Today, we present the online premiere of Tropics’ retake on “You Do You”. Frontman Jon Philpot says of this new interpretation of their tune: “Sometimes somebody will come along and amaze you, Tropics amazed us. They opened up our song “You Do You” like the retractable roof of an arena. It’s slow and bumping. It’s kinda like Phil Collins. Somehow this song makes me look back at 2010 with a teardrop and a smile. Get down with it and think about what you’ve done.”
