Hour are back with new single “Pearls,” the track is accompanied by a music video and off their forthcoming album Ghost Bridge, available October 9 via Dear Life Records. The music video by William H. Travis filmed at the first full band rehearsal for Ghost Bridge. “Anyone who has tried to schedule anything can appreciate the precarity of getting thirteen musicians plus two photographers to be in the same place at the same time,” says bandleader Cormier-O’Leary. “I’m proud to say we managed to get nearly everyone–shout out to our flute player Adelyn who was on tour in Europe with Skullcrusher when this filmed. We missed her a lot.” The footage succeeds in demonstrating the love hour’s members all share for one another. Cormier-O’Leary adds: “It’s a perfect moment in time, a pearl if you will.”

Hour will embark on a short tour supporting Thor and Friends, kicking off with a hometown show in Philadelphia and wrapping up at Cassette in New York. Hour will then perform at North Carolina’s FEAST VI festival just ahead of the album’s release. Today, the project has also announced a set of select headline dates for February 2027, appearing at Philadelphia’s First Unitarian Universalist Sanctuary and New York’s Stone Circle Theatre.

Ghost Bridge explores grief, anger, acceptance, and transcendence through indelible melodies that return like calming mantras, set against restless, impressionistic harmonies that evoke the uncertainty of the infinite. Known for his work with Friendship, Wendy Eisenberg, and 2nd Grade, among others, Philly-based multi-instrumentalist and Dear Life Records founder Cormier-O’Leary has made Hour a home for increasingly cinematic instrumental compositions since the mid-2010s.
