BEC Recordings duo Lion & Bear released a new 11 song collection. ” The Hollows album is available now to download or stream.
Lion & Bear is from Southern California. The friends from childhood, Andrew Enos and Michael Landingham, both experienced devastating losses of children followed by a stark realization: most people don’t know how to grieve. They fashioned the band from the ashes of their anguish in an effort to find healing and share that healing with others. Lion & Bear, a moniker inspired by the Bible’s King David, is an emblem of hope for the weary proclaiming this truth: pain is messy and uncomfortable, but if you go to the depths of your humanity, God will be there.
