Jon Philpot has previously released music as part of the duo Presocratics, in collaboration with guitarist and composer Need Thomas Windham. Presocratics released two albums on the record label Table of the Elements in 2001; both were produced by Philpot.
The first Bear in Heaven release (Tunes Nextdoor to Songs, Eastern Developments 2003) was an EP of solo recordings by Philpot, recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, with guest musicians performing on various instruments. Shortly after the release of Tunes Nextdoor to Songs, Philpot moved to Brooklyn, New York and joined with guitarist Adam Wills, keyboardist/guitarist Sadek Bazaraa (a graphic designer with Brooklyn design collective GH avisualagency), guitarist David Daniell (of San Agustin), and bassist James Elliott (Ateleia, School of Seven Bells). Eventually drummer Joe Stickney (drummer with Paul Duncan, Rhys Chatham's Essentialist project, and current touring drummer with Panthers) was added to the lineup. Daniell left Bear in Heaven in 2005 to focus on his solo project.
Red Bloom of the Boom, Bear in Heaven's first full-length album with the full band, was released in 2007 by the Hometapes record label.
Elliott left the band after the completion of the recordings of Red Bloom of the Boom to focus on School of Seven Bells and his solo project, Ateleia. Bear in Heaven now performs as a four-piece with Philpot on vocals, guitar and keyboards; Wills on guitar and bass; Bazaraa on bass and keyboards; and Stickney on drums.

Bear in Heaven Lyrics
You won't look away
The shit you said is burning up my brain
Give up, fever from beyond
There's two of us and one of us is wrong
You're throwing a lot a way
The shit you said is burning up my brain
Get up, i think you already know
There's two of us and one of us should go
Get up, c'mon
Get up, c'mon
You walk halfway
Little did i know that you really wouldn't look the other way
Let it go, let it go
Please don't, look the other way
Oh no, oh no, please don't, please don't
Let it go, let it go
Please don't, look the other way
Oh no, oh no, please don't
Calling back the feeling
Don't let silent voices sway you
It will be the same game
And you hate it and you need it and you want it more and more
Take it from me, there's no other way to let go
Never come back and make it up
I don't need it
Never come back and wake it up
I will bleed it
I wanna live, I wanna love, without feeling
Your love, your love, your love
The shit you said is burning up my brain
Give up, fever from beyond
There's two of us and one of us is wrong
You're throwing a lot a way
The shit you said is burning up my brain
Get up, i think you already know
There's two of us and one of us should go
Get up, c'mon
Get up, c'mon
Little did i know that you really wouldn't look the other way
Let it go, let it go
Please don't, look the other way
Oh no, oh no, please don't, please don't
Let it go, let it go
Please don't, look the other way
Oh no, oh no, please don't
Calling back the feeling
Don't let silent voices sway you
It will be the same game
And you hate it and you need it and you want it more and more
Take it from me, there's no other way to let go
Never come back and make it up
I don't need it
Never come back and wake it up
I will bleed it
I wanna live, I wanna love, without feeling
Your love, your love, your love
