New Sounds // Colour of Bone – Ashtrays for Earrings
You may the name Colour of
Bone already – that would be because we’ve said very positive things about this
mysterious character previously on #srcz. With music and visuals that impress
quickly you wonder where the face behind the madness is. But does it really
matter? Music doesn’t need a face when it can attack you through the ear hole…
The most recent single
from the mystery player takes a few influences and merges them together. Beginning
on a melodic, rock vein with some passing nods to heavier incarnations of The
Cranberries in its melodic structure you wonder where the song has gone as this
first portion fades suddenly – into a killer riff!
Said riff is nothing in
the vein of overly bombastic over-progging it’s a riff that energises the song
no end. A quick, funky stab of musical thunder before the next chapter slips
into view. That chapter is an ambient, subtly rock infused take on the song and
when it fades into nowhere, like the magic sunset that never was, it’s not
forgotten…
What little we know of
Colour of Bone doesn’t really matter too much. The truth is, the music does all
the talking more than adequately!
