The new self-titled debut album from roots country, The Bear and The Bison, reflects a relatable optimism in the face of uncertain times and social anxiety, and has quickly earned kudos for its unforced style and dark honesty.

Described as Appalachian country and roots rock, The Bear and The Bison is the new album by singer-songwriter Mark W. Lennon (Home of the Wheel and Down the Mountain), chronicling his experiences in the great American landscape, touching on themes of isolation, online culture, loss of family, striving to do better and navigating love's ins and outs.

The Bear and The Bison will be available February 13.
