Minus The Bear have premiered their new track "Lonely Gun" on RollingStone.com. The song, which Rolling Stone exclaimed "packs a punch with charging, acrobatic-sounding guitars woven through a pop-friendly chorus, is from the band's forthcoming album, Infinity Overhead, due August 28 on Dangerbird Records.
"Lonely Gun," as singer/guitarist Jake Snider remarks, "came out of a deep depression. I was thinking about how lonely an unused gun must be, its purpose unfulfilled, like a loveless relationship. The only way to allow its purpose is to hold it - to use it."
For the Seattle-based band's fifth record, they reunited with longtime producer and former founding member Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Cursive). The LP is a guitar-laden 10-track album that is as heavy on the band's trademark technicality as it is on pop songcraft.

Song is okay. It'll grow on me like everything else they've done.

I really don't like it when singers explain their bad metaphors.

And it's not like Jake Snider ever writes about anything but sex.
Lonely Gun is about his dick. Like every other song. Even "Hooray!" You think it's about a snowball fight. Nope. His dick.
