The Golden Bears are Julianna Bright and Seth Lorinczi, housemates, partners, parents and band. Their second full-length album, Write It Like You Find It, is a love poem to their daughter, to one another and to the bands and music that rescued them from despair along their way.  Songs full of the wonder inspired by new life bump up against hungrier ones, songs bursting with longing for sleep, for sex, for rock and roll. All 12 songs weave together to tell the story of what you lose and find when your life is no longer simply yours.

Seth recorded the band in and around their home studio. On songs like Come To Be, you hear the wide-open sound of the living room where they set up Julianna’s drums, where a duet of strings would set up later to track Seth’s arrangements. Piano parts were tracked in the same room on the 1928 Steinway that once belonged to Seth’s mom. Grittier contributions were confined to the basement where the couple has carefully built a studio over the last 6 years.

Contributions include the honeyed voices and gorgeous backing vocal arrangements of Dave Depper (Ram Project, Loch Lomond) and John Moen (Decembrists, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Dharma Bums). Other performers include Shelley Short, Sara Lund (Corin Tucker Band, Hungry Ghost, Unwound), and Kate Obrien-Clarke (Ages & Ages).
