Red Earth & Pouring Rain is the second album from Bear's Den, released on Communion Music in 2016, and it finds the London band still built around the partnership of singer and guitarist Andrew Davie and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Jones, with Joey Haynes rounding out the lineup. Islands had come out in 2014, and in 2015 "Above the Clouds of Pompeii" earned them an Ivor Novello nomination for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
The record sits where indie folk shades into folk rock, and the title track makes the case: patient, rolling, built to swell rather than simply strum. The UK Americana Awards took notice the same year, nominating Bear's Den twice, for Artist of the Year and for Song of the Year with "Agape".
