Sydney folk band Boy & Bear have released their long awaited brave new album “Harlequin Dream” (out now on Universal Music Australia) which was recorded in their hometown at the legendary Alberts studio, the spiritual home of AC/DC, the Easybeats and many more.

It was the perfect place for Boy & Bear to make their new musical statement, with the able guidance of ARIA award winning producer Wayne Connolly, who the band first met when they worked together on a cover of Neil Finn’s ‘Fall at your feet’.  Drawn from a number of sessions dating back to October 2012, recording “Harlequin Dream” was a totally different sensation for the band and they loved making the album on Aussie soil. The only time their music went offshore when takes were sent to Phil Ek in Seattle (Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes and Modest Mouse), to be mixed.

It was the perfect arrangement for this very Sydney band and it shows in this album.
