Description
Harlequin Dream, the bold and brave new album from Boy & Bear, was conceived and birthed in their hometown of Sydney. They couldn’t have picked a more appropriate venue in which to make the magic happen: the legendary Alberts studio, the spiritual home of AC/DC, the Easybeats and many, many other homegrown legends.
Their music only went offshore when takes were sent to Phil Ek (who’s worked with bands such as Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes and Modest Mouse) in Seattle to be mixed.
The lead single, “Southern Sun,” has a powerful urgency, not unlike the best of Bruce Springsteen or Fleetwood Mac, while a sprinkling of strings and brass played by living, breathing humans, not machines brings life and color to such standouts as “Back down the Black,” “Old Town Blues” and “Stranger.” There s even a swinging sax solo on title track “Harlequin Dream,” a first for the band.
