Three music students at the University of Liverpool have come together to form Bagheera: a Grizzly Bear-influenced vocal group whose esoteric lyrics on the day-dream-inducing "Old Machine" are sung over a lightly plucked acoustic guitar, percussion, and a few dark and swirling synthesizers. The band, named after the black panther character in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, recently self-released their debut—the meditative Hollow Home.
