Pre-save the album HERE.
“When we tour the USA we often get asked to perform our songs acoustically when we are on the radio. This usually involves acoustic guitars, tambourines and a toy keyboard, with the 5 of us jammed into a small studio. It gave us the idea to record a selection of acoustic tracks and present them as an album.”
The At Golden Retriever Studio album was recorded in Sydney, Australia with esteemed producer Simon Berkelman at Golden Retriever studios with Boy & Bear performing on acoustic guitars, a bass and an upright piano.
“The sessions brought an honest an intimate mood to the songs and was a great experience for us.”
Dave Hosking says of the newly recorded “Bad People,” “This song was super fun to record stripped back. It took on a whole new life and feel which was refreshing. In a nice way, it loses the shimmer of the full production but gains a pleasant nostalgia and hopefully draws the listener in even more so to the story behind it. “
