BOY & BEAR: the darkness behind Suck On Light
from Interviews with Richard Kingsmill Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
After all they’ve been through, how Boy & Bear came to record such an impressive album is remarkable. Four years since Limit Of Love, Suck On Light is the Sydney band’s fourth album. It has come after years of undiagnosed illness for singer Dave Hosking. Battling a serious bacterial infection in his gut that was also affecting his nervous system, Hosking was eventually prescribed a treatment called Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT). Many of us found the story both fascinating and disgusting. Richard Kingsmill finds out more about Hosking’s slow recovery, and speaks to keyboardist Jon Hart as well about how the band bounced back to write and record the album in Nashville with engineer/co-producer Collin Dupuis.
