"Heimir Björgúlfsson is an ex-member of the longstanding Icelandic group Stilluppsteypa and Jonas Ohlsson is a reknowned visual artist, both based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Fur Your Bears Only is their second collaboration after the Unspoken Word Tour album in the Brombron series released by Staalplaat and Extrapool. Fur Your Bears Only is the most melodic and poppy music ever to have come out of Björgúlfsson & Ohlsson, providing 8 tracks that show how disco & house can get distorted once in the hands of these two gentlemen. From the epic opening 10-minute title track onwards this work is full of abstract dancefloor sympathies. Recorded in Amsterdam, Xiamen, Los Angeles and Reykjavik, Fur Your Bears Only is the best example of how good a hybrid between classic dance music and abstract experimentalism can be. With beautiful collage artwork made by the two musicians themselves."

"Icelandic artist Heimir Bjorgulfsson (ex-Stilluppsteypa) and Swedish artist Jonas Ohlsson team up for a strange blend. A frozen margarita from the north perhaps...? Both artist are educated in the visual arts as well as Heimir having studied sonology at The Royal Conservatory in Den Haag and Jonas electro-acoustic music at Fylkingen in Sweden. They both live and work in Amsterdam, and have numerous releases behind their back, solo and in various projects. Bringing their Nordic background into the Extrapool studio in Nijmegen, the pair used a lot of old analog gear available to them there in combination with their own high-tech digital machines to make this very varied album of 23 tracks ranging from funky noise to abstract old school acid... quite different from previous outputs from them. Strange things started to happen as the Gelderland Legend appeared unexpected in the studio and singing sessions even took place to ad just the right flavour of this otherwise unique cocktail."
