It seems Minus the Bear has found a new home in Silverlake, California's Dangerbird Records. This news comes on the eve of what will be Minus the Bear's fifth full length LP due out later in the year. The Seattle band separated from their long time label Suicide Squeeze after the release of 2007's "Planet of Ice".
Here is the announcement that was posted on both Dangerbird's and Minus the Bear's websites:
We are proud to announce the signing of Seattle-based rockers Minus the Bear to our burgeoning roster. Dangerbird will release the band’s fourth LP this spring. “As music fans, we’ve adored Minus the Bear for years, so we’re honored to be in business with them,” exclaims Jeff Castelaz, co-founder/CEO of Dangerbird Records. “They had many options, and chose to make Dangerbird their new home. Something we take quite seriously.”
“After months of looking under rocks and in dark caves, we’ve found a nice place to nest with Dangerbird Records,” explains bassist Cory Murchy. “They are a label of artists for artists and we are very excited to work with their creative minds to continue to bring you quality craftsmanship and the very best we can provide for our fans, both old and the newly educated.”
Throughout their career, the quintet has garnered critical praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Spin, URB, Paste and Alternative Press and amassed an ever-growing fanbase as the result of their exciting live show and singular sound which showcases their adroit technical abilities.

Minus The Bear is awesome. I have been a fan since 2006. After listening to their new OMNI album, I am impressed once again. Dangerbird please don't encourage anyone in the band to ever sell out by losing their sound. They have influenced a lot of the music that I like. I recall my self comparing other music to this particular band. Keep the music real.
