Bear in the Forest doesn’t need to overpower you to grab your attention

Ways To Subscribe

Every week, the State of Sound podcast welcomes an artist from our monthly concert series into the studio to go deep on one of their songs. Our live shows are done for the year, but we’ll be back with more of Wisconsin’s best musicians in 2025.

This week’s guest, Alberto Kanost of Bear in the Forest, joined us for 88Nine’s State of Sound lineup in November. His songs howl with spiritualism built around folk music in the oldest, barest sense: joy and pain and a guitar coming together.

I spoke with Alberto about Bear In the Forest’s introspectively confident song, “Clear Clean Water.” To hear the conversation and part of Bear In The Forest’s set from November, find us on your preferred podcast platform or use the player at the top of the page.
