Following a massive touring schedule in 2014 - 170 shows across three continents in support of their platinum-selling album Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear decided to take the momentum they had gathered on the road directly into the studio, and teamed up with renowned producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs) with the intention of cutting a record the old fashion way - live in the studio, straight to tape, with virtually no overdubs. The first taste fans will have of that new approach is single "Walk the Wire," which was written by the group as a whole and bristles with a fresh energy. Fueled by a gritty guitar and synthesizer groove, and buoyed by the honest, organic production style employed by Johns, the song is a bold new statement of intent.
