The End is the ambitious swan song from internet phenomenon Podington Bear. It is an instrumental album that loosely addresses the classic stages of response to death and dying: achingly human but paradoxically made with machines. The seven songs serve up a 40-minute sonic journey of valleys, vistas, and turning corners. The songs themselves refuse classification, yet somehow go together as a collection. It’s a moody, panoramic, Technicolor album with melodies as simple as the instrumentation is complex.
