Boy & Bear's songs that shimmer
Episode description
Boy & Bear have been making beautiful music for more than a decade now. The Sydney band are ARIA award winners, have won the Australian Music Prize, and gathered a huge fanbase. Known for their warm folk guitar sounds centred around the gorgeous voice of Dave Hosking, Boy & Bear have made us swoon over four albums.
But they’re taking a little side step with their fifth. This new chapter sees Boy & Bear bring a whole lot more synths into their sound, it has a breezy quality to it, and as a result it shimmers. On the day they released their new record, I invited Dave and Jon from the band, to Take 5 – and to share the songs that shimmer for them. From Lana Del Ray to Radiohead to Future Islands, get a peek inside the musical minds of on of Australia’s most loved bands.
- Lana Del Rey - 'Norman Fucking Rockwell'
- Laura Mvula - 'Remedy'
- Radiohead - 'Codex'
- Phoenix - '1901'
- Future Islands - 'Born in a War'
