Ball of Wax 35 Songs: Werebearcat! – “My Heart”

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since Werebearcat! graced us with one of their minimalist drum-and-voice jams, but indeed it has. They made their first Ball of Wax appearance on our “No Guitars” volume, and unlike some of the artists on that collection, these guys were not trying on the guitarless look for one song. Werebearcat! does a lot with very little, marrying live drum kit and droning synth with Holly Small’s Rihanna-worthy hooks for a delightfully sweet/savory pop confection that will have you singing along by the second chorus. (And OK, there is a little sweet guitar action at the very end of the song, but they obviously do just fine without it.) We have yet to be graced with a live Werebearcat! performance at a Ball of Wax show, but here’s hoping for next time.
