Bear Worship is the project of Dublin born musician Karl Knuttel. His influences range from psychedelia, tropicalia, and early electronica up to contemporary acts such as Deerhunter, Grizzly Bear, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, and Animal Collective. Also influential are electronic movie scores, particularly those of John Carpenter. Bear Worship's first single, Shimmerings, was released online on 11 June 2015.

In the artist's own words, "Bear Worship is a celebration. It's about positivity and realism, love and friends, passion and nostalgia, and overcoming superstitions and bullshit mindsets."
