Across its 11 tracks, Little Brain is a thoughtful and melancholic album wrestling with finding comfort in memory, identity and intimacy. The dense guitars and soft abrasion of the band’s shoegaze sound are grounded by the unique vocal interplay between Callan Dwan and Peter Mercer, whose harmonies blur into each other rather than compete. It’s a debut shaped by years of labor, where the intimacy of its lyrics meets the weight of everything the band poured into making it.
Written and recorded slowly between 2019 and 2025, the album grew out of fragments that existed even before the release of their 2019 EP Gates (Cold Lunch Recording). Early on, Bleary’s process revolved around writing songs, playing them live, and reshaping them in front of audiences. When the pandemic halted that rhythm, the band turned inward. Songs were passed back and forth as demos. A home recording setup built by Callan Dwan and Taro Yamazaki opened new doors, letting the band chase textures and arrangements that wouldn’t have been possible in a traditional rehearsal space. What started as necessity became a creative shift that defined the record.
