Familiar? Yes, seems that there are two bands of this name on the go, both Scottish. What are the chances, eh?
The title track (to the 4 track, er, demo) ends the EP, while the opener is their eponymous signature tune I suppose, i.e. ‘Bare Bones’. “Snap me in half and make a wish, dig me up in 500 years”, drawls the female singer in an effort that lasts a grand 30 seconds. All four tracks are similarly short (ok, not quite that short) and clever lyrically, and very sparsely recorded – the kind of thing where what’s percussion might well someone chapping on the door of their home studio.
Sadly for what I take to be the Edinburgh version, they might be the ones that have to do the inevitable change of moniker as their namesakes are already quite big and releasing on Instinctive Raccoon – especially given that this act seem to have no internet presence whatsoever. It’d be a shame if they failed as this EP shows a fair bit of promise.
