BEAR IN HEAVEN
bearinheaven.com
Brooklyn's Bear in Heaven announced their forthcoming album will be called
I Love You, It's Cool with "the world's longest, slowest album stream ever" on their website (it's been slowed by 400,000%).
Popular websites, such as NPR, The Huff Po and Washington Post, all reported on this.
That was December.
Today (Friday the 13th), the band revealed their first single "The Reflection of You" (at "normal speed") is available on
Pitchfork. If you head there, you can find all the track listing and cover artwork.
What they didn't mention on Pitchy is Bear in Heaven's tour dates, which I'll include below.

At first, I thought their name was Luck Dragon (a reference to
The Neverending Story), but I guess they're just Lucky Dragons.
Once again, they're based out of Brooklyn, and once again, you can hear their album

Bandcamp, you can download the first song for free).
Album is out February 14th via Swill Children Records, release shows on February 16th and 17th. More tour dates below:

FIELD MOUSE

I like dreampop bands, so I was pretty happy to see that Filter Magazine just premiered Brooklyn's Field Mouse's single "Glass" on their
website (where you can download the song for free).
Field Mouse's upcoming 7" called "You Guys Are Gonna Wake Up My Mom" will be released on February 28th via Small Plates.

OLD MONK
freeoldmonk.com
Birds of Belize is the debut album from New York's Old Monk (can I just guess that they're based out of Brooklyn as well?). The album is coming out January 17th, and I am told that the pressed yellow vinyl will come with a download code of the album, plus three bonus tracks ("Monocle", "Class A Stock", "Tartan Lingerie")
If you can't make it to their live Cake Shop residency, you can tune on on January 18th on
USTREAM to see them rehearse.

GABRIEL AND THE HOUNDS
gabrielandthehounds.com
I don't know if Gabriel Levine (of Takka Takka) is still living in Brooklyn, but according to his press release, his album,
Kiss Full of Teeth, was written and recorded around Brooklyn, "
living rooms, garages, and in proper studios including community stalwart Seaside Lounge and The National’s garage studio in Ditmas Park".
While the Gabriel and the Hounds' album doesn't come out until February 28th, 2012 (on Ernest Jenning Record Co.), you can get a free download of "The World Unfolds", a track from
Kiss Full of Teeth, on
Soundcloud.
They have not updated the official website, but his album release show is on:
02.14.12 - Manhattan, NY @ Mercury Lounge
BRIEFLY (not Brooklyn-based):
LEIF(KOLT)
www.leifkolt.com
I am somewhat confused, but I think this DJ/producer is called "LEIF(kolt)".
His latest release is an EP with Dusty Nix and is called Nothing for the Vultures, and was released January 10th. The six track EP is described as a collection of "electro-leaning pop
mutations". Preview the video on youtube, details on how to purchase the tracks on leifkolt.com.

YELAWOLF
yelawolf.com
I was only given a link to the video for Yelawolf's new video "Let's Roll" (watch it in HD on
vevo.com). The song is from his latest album, Radioactive, which came out November of last year.
What's interesting is the song features an appearance by Kid Rock. I didn't know he was still alive (just kidding, I just haven't heard from Kid R in a while).
