Moonfire is Sydney five-piece Boy & Bear's debut LP and won five of the seven ARIAs it was nominated for, including Group of the Year and Album of the Year. It opens strongly, with numbers such as Lordy May, Feeding Line (which came number four spot in triple j's Hottest 100 of 2012) and Milk & Sticks. But it really drops quality from there. Not that the songs are terrible, they just don't follow the strong opening through. But I did like the rocking they did in Big Man, which is about the heaviest they ever got. Moonfire also came in number 3 spot in triple j Album Poll of 2011.
A lot of the songs also have the same feeling to me. It's not a bad album, but I think there were more places to go then where they went.
6.5/10
