Bleary, sugar splint

posted 4 hours ago #

If my own archives are to be trusted, I've been listening to Bleary since 2018 - right before the release of their debut EP Gates. It's an excellent blend of influences - some shoegaze, some dream pop, loads of harmonies and that yearning indie melancholy. Listen to "Sour" and tell me that's not an apt description!
Fast forward to 2026 and I am happy to announce that Bleary has joined the yk Records roster and will be releasing their debut full-length album in May. The record has all the same sonic elements from the Gates EP but they've evolved everything - better production, songwriting, et al. It's exactly what you want a band to do!

Can't wait for people to hear the whole thing as we roll it out over the new few months. The first single, "sugar splint," is now available everywhere. Do me a favor and give it a listen and, if you like it, save it and share it!
