========================================

Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear are currently hard at work on their highly anticipated fourth studio album, still untitled. Excited to expand on their inimitable brand of rock n roll songwriting and explore their existing love of audio ingenuity, the band teamed up with Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chicarelli (My Morning Jacket, The White Stripes) to lend a helping hand. Loved for their brilliant countermelodies and progressive arrangements by legions of fans, the band plans on taking their endless creativity and craft, which has been praised by the likes of Spin, Alternative PressPaste and others, to new heights on this new album.

Minus the Bear will take the opportunity to self finance their new album, giving them full control in an evolving industry. The band plans on releasing their new album on a yet to be announced record label.

Minus The Bear will release their new album this fall.

my vote is

Minus the Bear IV:  The Voyage Home

just randomly even though you guys are gradually using less sassy record and song titles...
 plus you havnt numbered any of the previous albums...hehehe

The genius of Planet Of Ice going to be hard to match. Can this new album POSSIBLY be any better than Planet of Ice? I sure hope so. I have faith!

I think it is absolutely great that you are taking the reins on the new album.  Its more gratifying to have that control.  Not that i have ever been disappointed.  Thank you for what you do and the art that i hope inspires others to work just as hard. 
Cheers ,
Cruz
