Being in such a capable, confident, and clarity-filled space at this point in their adventure, where the world is at their feet and superstardom beckons, is quite a treat for Bears in Trees. Expressing themselves as much as they are still learning what it means to be four friends doing what they do best, they have created a record that will speak to and change the perspective of all who hear it. Tenderness, triumph, and a totally unashamed feeling of enjoying the ride whilst they're on it, 'How to Build an Ocean: Instructions' is their definitive statement. Though no matter how far this record takes them, the most important thing is that they are together and doing what they love. Because when all is said and done, that's the connection that will last a lifetime.
