Vinyl LP pressing. Produced by the band and Collin Dupuis (Lana Del Rey, The Black Keys) in Nashville's Southern Ground studios, and mixed in part by Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Tom Elmhirst (Arcade Fire, Beck, Lorde, Amy Winehouse), Boy & Bear's fourth album Suck On Light serves as their first new music since 2015's Limit Of Love and is comprised of 12 tracks including the recently released ""Hold Your Nerve"" and ""Work Of Art."" To protect the purity of their musical vision, the band wrote a brief for the album; a clear memorandum of exactly how they wanted it to sound, and how they would achieve it. ""We still wanted '70s tones, '70s drum tones and guitar tones, we still wanted to embrace harmonies, but we wanted to push it more into the 21st Century and mess with it a little bit, more than we had in the past,"" says vocalist-guitarist Dave Hosking.

Boy & Bear have weathered a personal and professional storm to deliver their fourth album, Suck On Light. It's a record they feared might never come to exist. Yet it's the very challenges they faced over the past three years, as vocalist-guitarist Dave Hosking battled a debilitating illness, that pushed them to create their finest album to date. Produced by the band and Collin Dupuis (Lana Del Rey, The Black Keys) in Nashville's Southern Ground studios, and mixed in part by Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Tom Elmhirst (Arcade Fire, Beck, Lorde, Amy Winehouse), Suck On Light is an album that takes the trademark analogue warmth of their sound and pushes it to places the Sydney quintet have never before explored.
