mary in the junkyard – bear walk

mary in the junkyard — the London-based band of Clari Freeman-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Saya Barbaglia (bass, viola), and David Addison (drums) — recently released “this is my California.” Now the band unveils the companion single “bear walk” ahead of their US live debut in New York City: supporting Model/Actriz tonight, December 4th, at TV Eye, and headlining Baby’s All Right tomorrow night, December 5th.

“bear walk” takes the band back to their roots, where they initially began as a folk project started by Freeman-Taylor. The track is still imbued with the bands spectral stylings, with Barbaglia’s violin elegantly panning across the track, and Addison providing a skeletal shuffle on drums. It’s another moment of striking originality from the band who have had an impressive rookie run throughout 2024. “‘bear walk’ is the story of someone trying to make their lover stay with them in their feral lifestyle,” the band explains. “It is about the push and pull between wildness and conventionality, and was born from us playing some acoustic gigs over the summer.”
