]]> Long Beard is the moniker of New Brunswick’s Leslie Bear, who makes a melancholic brand of dream pop with the help of Stefan Koekemoer and Devin Silvers. The songs sound like the internal monologue (or dialogue? How do these things work?) you hold with yourself during late hours, when everything’s closed up and everyone else are in their beds, leaving you in your own little bubble of conscious, the only person on earth. Insecurity, hesitation and longing coalesce into something tangible, a simultaneous fear of- and pining for time or place that’s not yet quite clear.

RIYL: Labradford, Yowler, moments of late-night reflective melancholy

Favourite Tracks:

You can buy Sleepwalker now from the Long Beard Bandcamp page, and on cassette or vinyl from Team Love Records.
