During his time at college, Nick Bottomley (Bears and You) spent a lot of late nights staying up listening to the campus radio station, where the music played often reflected the sleeplessness and haziness of its audience. It was these sounds that inspired his second EP, Yearbook. The songs on it are reflective of his time spent at school, and by the oddly intimate connection of tuning in to the lonely radio transmissions bouncing up and down the coast.

In between class and homework, the record came together over the course of 3 years, eventually becoming four perfect, versatile, vulnerable, electronic songs. Subsequently, Yearbook is four years in twenty minutes; the sound of growing up and letting go as you watch a rocket pierce the sky before daybreak.

Bears and You is Nicholas Bottomley.
"Closer Than It Seems" is cowritten and sung by Zana Jipsen.

Yearbook is based on my experiences at university. It was inspired by the strange, lonely connection I felt listening to the college radio station at 3 in the morning, hearing sounds I had never heard before, and wondering who was on the other side of the airwaves.

My deepest thanks to my friends and family: Zana Jipsen, Maxton Stenstrom, Ashleigh Payne, Natalia Adams, Luke Kim, Meysell Quintana, Shannen Roberts, Linda Roman, Michelle Samayoa, Joey Casalenuovo, Emily Hicks, Brandon Kado, Josh Vasquez, Brian Long, and Israel Vasquez, for your contributions, both direct and indirect.
