OK Bear is the title of the fourth release by Sunny Day Real Estate frontman Jeremy Enigk. The album was recorded outside Barcelona during the year 2008.

Contents

Enigk has stated that the title of the album comes from a phrase he accidentally said while stringing together what he thought were nonexistent Spanish words.

The album marks a return to a heavier rock sound of Sunny Day Real Estate. [5]

OK Bear has a relatively stripped-down rock aesthetic compared to the orchestral nature of his previous two solo albums. [6]
