Harlequin Dream, the bold and brave new album from Boy & Bear, 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 in Seattle, who's worked with such bands as Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes and Modest Mouse, to be mixed. It was the perfect arrangement for this very Sydney band.
