London-born, Bristol-based Message To Bears, the ethereal indie-folk project of Jerome Alexander, unveils his latest single, ‘Half Light’, on February 14, 2025, via Lost Birds Records. With over 200 million streams, his evocative sound has captivated BBC Radio (Nitin Sawhney, Guy Garvey, Tom Robinson), NPR, KEXP’s Pacific Notions, and publications like Vulture, Stereogum, CLASH, and The Line of Best Fit. Having shared stages with Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds, performed at Green Man Festival alongside Mumford & Sons, Beirut, and Efterklang, and featured in Life is Strange with Mogwai, Alt-J, and José González, his cinematic compositions blend ambient, folk, post-rock, and electronic textures. Since his 2007 debut, Alexander has released acclaimed albums like Departures, Folding Leaves, and Constants, earning a reputation for lush, emotive soundscapes reminiscent of Cinematic Orchestra, Novo Amor, and Sufjan Stevens.
‘Half Light’ unfolds like a dream, seamlessly intertwining orchestral elegance with ambient serenity. Delicate piano melodies drift over swelling brass, celestial choral swells, and shimmering electronic textures, each element meticulously placed to create a rich, immersive soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive.
Alexander divulges: “Half Light is supposed to capture a moment of vulnerability and hope, those quiet in-between moments where clarity begins to emerge.”
