History
Following the disbandment of Sprain (which occurred a month after the release of their last album The Lamb as Effigy), two of its members, Alex Kent and Sylvie Simmons, continued where the band left off by taking their then-unfinished material and refining it with an almost entirely new lineup under the name of Shearling.[1][2]
Shearling announced their formation in July 2024 and stated that they were working on their debut album. They performed a debut show on August 3.[3]
On May 1, 2025, they released their debut album Motherfucker, I am Both: "Amen" and "Hallelujah"..., which consists of a single hour-long song that was derived and evolved from a Sprain song that was performed during their last shows and announced that a "sister album" is in production.[4][5]
From August to September 2025, the band embarked on a tour across Europe.[6]
