We were able to talk with Ireland’s Solar Bears about their EP on Planet Mu, their influences and their possible plans for an upcoming tour below.

SICK OF THE RADIO-Can you name some of your influences?

Solar Bears-Between the both of us influences are widespread and vary drastically. For me Bibio, Death in Vegas, Portishead and Broadcast would be what has gotten to me the most over the years. Listening to Mordoer and John Carpenter in my formative years made me interested in electronic music. Rian is a huge fan of XTC and Aphex Twin as well as recently falling in love with the records of Clark.
