Moonfire, the debut album from Australian band Boy & Bear, landed at home on 5 August 2011, and the band went all the way to Nashville to make it, cutting the record at Blackbird Studio with producer Joe Chiccarelli. Reviewers lined it up alongside Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons, and you can hear why: stacked harmonies, banjo and mandolin in the mix, and songs that swell from campfire hush into full-band surge.
The lineup had Dave Hosking and Killian Gavin singing and playing guitar, Tim Hart on drums, banjo and mandolin, Jon Hart on keys and David Symes on bass. "Feeding Line" was the song that went furthest on the countdowns, with "Milk & Sticks" and "Part Time Believer" behind it. The album debuted at number two on the ARIA chart, a strong start for a band only formed in 2009, and Harlequin Dream came next.
