Ottawa’s Bearings have released their fourth full length, Comfort Company, via Pure Noise Records, the album sees the band turn their energy inward, exploring what it means to grow older in a world that never stops spinning. Written during long highway drives and quiet moments between shows, the album finds Bearings revisiting Room 21 in Toronto, the studio where they recorded their first EP and Blue In The Dark, with producer Kyle Marchant. It’s a full-circle return that let them reflect on how much has changed while reconnecting with their original spark.

“Comfort Company is for us the record that feels like coming back home. Some songs we wrote at a cottage together, others came from a basement. They all started somewhere honest and ended up back at the studio where we did our first album in the East End of Toronto. This album was working on music all day, walking to the beer store, then heading back to the windowless studio to relax before reading Kurt Vonnegut and eventually falling asleep on an air mattress. As we worked out what we wanted it to sound like we found ourselves wanting to make music that felt natural to us, something that we knew we’d connect with and be able to spill out on stage when the time came to perform it.” (frontman Doug Cousins)

Bearings are currently on tour in the US with As It Is and the band will head out on their very own headline dates later this month. You can view Bearings tour dates and purchase tickets here.
