The Australian indie-folk band Boy & Bear is back with not one, but two exciting new songs. "Where Does Life Begin" and "Vertigo." These tracks were released together as a double A-side single showcasing the band's continued creativity and musical flavors.
In "Where Does Life Begin," you can immediately feel that Boy & Bear is exploring their usual style while also venturing into new sounds. The song has a calming and reflective quality, with lead singer David Hosking's soothing voice guiding the listener through beautiful melodies. It invites everyone to slow down and think about life's big questions, all while remaining light and approachable. It strikes a balance between being personal and relatable, something that the band does really well.
On the other hand, "Vertigo" kicks things up a notch with an energetic beat that keeps moving steadily forward. The song is vibrant and layered, with harmonies that shine like sunlight hitting glass. It contrasts nicely with "Where Does Life Begin," showing off the band's confidence and their ability to express different sides of their music in one release.
The songs were co-written by the band and produced with the help of Justin Stanley. They also come with music videos directed by Grey Ghost, adding a visual element that enhances the listening experience and brings depth to the music.
