US-based indie singer/songwriter Cereus Bright comes to Wolf in a Suit for the first time and does so with the honest tale of "Boys". With this wonderfully crafted soundscape, he opens up and allows us to dive into a world so human and so raw. it's a track that understands that humanity is fragile and we tend to love as good as we tend to hurt each other. It's a strange duality that is impossible to escape, we all know it, sometimes the scars we have come from those whose place in our hearts are the most solid.
There's something about "Boys" that feels so haunting, so palpable and so beautifully and subtly cinematic, it's a one of a kind experience. This soundscape does not aim to show hate, sadness or even joy, it just wants to share that life and relationships are made of everything and anything. So listen closely and simply dive into the world of this hypnotizing must-listen gem. Enjoy!

“This song began years ago when I heard a story about my grandfather. He was a hard, complicated figure in our family, but then I learned he had been sent to boarding school at three because his mother didn't want to raise him. It sent me into an investigation of cause and effect. It's essential to reckon with the people or institutions that have affected us or hurt us, but some times truly understanding is impossible. At the very least, it's grey.
To me, Boys is about just that – the people or things that hurt us often love us too. It doesn't all fit neatly in a box. For a video, I wanted to complicate the song and push into a harsher tone. The team did an incredible job adding layers of complexity to the song. What are the forces we're fighting? What do they want from us? Can we resist?”
