Taken from their forthcoming album The Night Is Young on Southern Fried Records, The 2 Bears new single "Angel (Touch Me)" is a light-hearted take on Wim Wenders' film Wings Of Desire, a romantic fantasy where angels comfort those in distress. In this case, Raf plays a driver who is emotionally and physically unraveling, and takes drastic steps to cure his anxiety, until Joe Goddard's Angel soothes him with a simple hand on the shoulder."I really recognised the feeling people have in that movie when angels come and lay a hand on their shoulder." says Raf, "Their thoughts slow down and things they've been chewing over or worrying about seem to resolve, or get left behind at least for a while. I think it's a feeling a lot of people know…"Pre-order 'Angel' on iTunes hereDirected by Dan HenshawProduced by Chris MasseyThe 2 Bears:http://www.facebook.com/followthebearshttp://www.twitter.com/followthebearsXOYO Resident series: THE 2 BEARS26/04 The 2 Bears + Toddla T + Serocee + Mele03/05 The 2 Bears + Pachanga Boys10/05 The 2 Bears + Four Tet + Daphni17/05 The 2 Bears + Hot Chip takeover24/05 The 2 Bears + Bestival takeover: Rob Da Bank + Cuban Brothers + Severino31/05 The 2 Bears + Matias Aguayo07/06 The 2 Bears + Andrew Weatherall + Emperor Machine (Live)14/06 The 2 Bears + Greco Roman takeover: Wookie + TCTS21/06 The 2 Bears + Steve Bug 28/06 The 2 Bears all night long (Optimo in Room 2)Advance tickets for the XOYO shows are available here
