 During the recording of Henry Cow 's sixth album in January 1978 , musical differences arose within the group over the prevalence of song @-@ oriented material on the album . Some wanted purely instrumental compositions , while others , including Frith , favoured songs . As a compromise Frith and the band 's drummer , Chris Cutler released the songs on an album Hopes and Fears ( 1978 ) under the name Art Bears , while the instrumental tracks , plus others recorded later were released on Henry Cow 's last album , Western Culture ( 1979 ) . Art Bears went on to make two more albums of songs .
