Looking for music to impress your most intellectual friends?
Enter Brooklyn-based indie duo Sasha & The Bear. Their sound blends cool, airy, experimental production with a vibe so effortlessly chill, you might actually want to gatekeep them instead of bragging.
Comprised of close friends Sasha Daniel (singer, songwriter, producer) and Dov Igel (songwriter, producer, singer), the duo recently released their new single, “Humanly Small.”
Sonically, it nods to artists like Lapalux and SOHN while remaining authentically their own.
“How can I agree to be humanly small?” repeats like a mantra, layered with glitchy vocal samples and gentle synth pads. The result is both grounding and ethereal—like being welcomed into a secret sonic underground curated by Sasha & The Bear themselves.
Daniel’s vocals carry a subtle command, especially when fused with the lyrical sentiment—a potent reminder to never shrink yourself for any reason.
“Humanly Small” is a powerful display that marries sonic finesse with a lingering message—one that resonates across the many versions of yourself that might hear the words and relate.
Give it a listen—and discover a new duo worth keeping on repeat.
