Link is to the original 2006 release, a bedroom-indie track about how cool bears are. If you haven't heard it, give that a listen and let it stew for a while before checking out the new stuff, because there's a big tonal and perspective shift between them.

Apparently, the artist put out the original track, which is mostly pining about the simplicity of a bear's life compared to the difficulty of our own. The artist then immediately went on hiatus, got married, both of their fathers died, they had a kid, and then they decided to make this album together just this year.

It's extremely beautiful and heart-wrenching, and the contrast in perspective from the break in time is really astounding.

If you've got kids, this thing is probably gonna sucker-punch you pretty good, so find some private time to listen and strap in.

The 2006 track (the rest of the album is just ok, imo):
