Bones in Butter – Another Cloud (2022)
With their single ‘Another Cloud’, Bones in Butter offers another great addition to an already captivating discography. No newcomer to The Other Side Reviews, the band draws us in with each new release and we can’t get enough. Through this track, the band continues to tackle serious issues with a slightly ironic touch as they look at virtual realities, alienation, love and the doom of human civilisation as we know it.
While the track is packed with pessimism and sadness, the engaging and rather agreeable melody puts a whole new spin on things. Through this release, the band furthers their ability to draw you into their world, while neatly avoiding all potential genre labels. Using a splash of dystopian future added to the reality of the world we live in, there is no doubt that they will get every listener as hooked to their sound as we are.
‘Another Cloud’ grabs you from the first moment and sweeps you into the dreamy post-rock vibes. The melody has a light twang to it that distorts and warbles for a really engaging movement. The music is packed with the genre-defying style of the band which brings a stunning, unique listening experience. As you listen to the single, your feet tap to the tone, while the higher twinkling levels make you want to close your eyes and soak everything up. The guitars soar out into the soundscape while the bass and drums shuffle and shiver through the back of your brain. From the first note to the very end of the track, the melody doesn’t let up for a second and keeps you endlessly engaged.
As you are caught in the movement of the melody, the vocals sweep over your senses with a rather airy feeling. The vocals bring a dreamy edge to the rock sound of the music. While there is a light touch to the vocals, the lyrics bring the urge to escape from the reality of the world. The lyrics are really relatable as they bring a slight disconnect from the real world, while also wanting to drift away from the problems of reality. The rather heavy subject matter is softened by the lightness of the vocals and the engaging movement of the music.
Bones in Butter continue to tackle heavy subjects with a light, yet extremely engaging, touch with the captivating tones of ‘Another Cloud’. The melody grabs your attention from the first note and holds on until the very end. The vocals offer a dreamy touch as they delve into relatable feelings.
