Following on from the release of new music last month, Boy & Bear today have shared the official video for their upbeat and optimistic new single ‘Hold Your Nerve’.
The video celebrates the return of the Sydney band with an intimate and energetic performance video, shot by director Onil Kotian (Angus & Julia ‘Snow’ and ‘Cellar Door’) who the band worked with for the first time.
Shot in black and white, the video is intercut between scenes of a constantly revolving camera around the band’s performance and a series of open-ended abstract visuals that add texture. The coloured visuals are lifted from the artwork of the band’s forthcoming album which was designed by Leif Podhajsky who is behind the album artwork for artists Tame Impala, London Grammar and Foals to name but a few and the creative director for Vivid Live Festival.
Announced on Boy & Bear’s socials last week, their highly anticipated fourth album Suck On Light, will be available digitally, on CD and standard & limited edition coloured vinyl on Friday September 27th through Island Records Australia.
Boy & Bear will be hitting the road once again for their global ‘Hold Your Nerve Tour’ which kicks off on Thursday August 15 at at The Tivoli in Brisbane. Tickets to their Brisbane show have already sold out with Perth, Melbourne and Sydney selling fast.
