About

Art Bears were an English avant-rock group formed during the disbandment of Henry Cow in 1978 by three of its members, Chris Cutler (percussion, texts), Fred Frith (guitar, bass guitar, violin, keyboards) and Dagmar Krause (vocals; also formerly of Slapp Happy). The group released three studio albums between 1978 and 1981 – Hopes and Fears, Winter Songs and The World as It Is Today – and toured Europe in 1979. The band disbanded following the release of The World as It Is Today. Cutler, Frith and Krause would continue working together after the band's disbandment, and Cutler and Frith performed as Art Bears Songbook, an Art Bears "review" project, for two festival performances in 2008 and 2010.
