Tripping Over Time is the sixth studio album by Australian indie band Boy & Bear. The release was announced in 17 October 2025 and is scheduled for release on 12 December 2025. [2]

Contents

Upon announcement, vocalist and guitarist Dave Hosking said "The record predominantly is about how time changes us. We grow up, our priorities shift, our lives move onto new chapters and with this comes new insights but also new challenges. It's a balancing act of reflecting or even yearning for our youth whilst also embracing life as it inevitably moves forward. So, I think the record's emotional core is really about finding peace in who we are and who we’ve become. It’s about self-growth.” [4]

The album will be promoted with a performance on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on 14 December 2025. [1]

Reception

Al Newstead from Double J said "this record offers gentle twists on their tried-and-true sound, not a re-haul. And a welcome one at that." [5]

Paul Cashmere from Noise11 said "Tripping Over Time finds Boy & Bear balancing nostalgia with forward motion, an approach that suits a band now more comfortable with its identity. The album's themes of time, change and domestic life are familiar, yet they are expressed with renewed subtlety and melodic assurance. For long-term fans, the record extends the band's signature strengths, and for new listeners, it offers an accessible entry point." [6]
