About

Marxist avant / art rock band from the Canterbury scene, formed after the dissolution of Henry Cow. They emerged during the recording of what was supposed to be Henry Cow's fifth studio album. After the first sessions, it was decided that additional material was to be recorded and released under the Art Bears moniker. Responsible for the drive in this direction was two thirds of the trio: drummer / lyricist Chris Cutler and guitarist / bassist / keyboardist / violinist Fred Frith (the completed songs were Terrain, The Tube, The Dance and Piers). They were joined by German vocalist Dagmar Krause, who had previously worked with Henry Cow.
