Spellbinding acoustic folk, a familiar style with divinely intimate vocals, reflecting on a subject matter with poignant vulnerability. Wren Arkose unite poetic short lines with a deeply introspective account of a life lived amidst the struggle of anorexia, for the powerful and gripping single Bones.
Lyrically captivating from the outset, even with such brief ideas almost listed throughout, the emotional intensity of Bones comes from both the raw delivery of the voice, its quiet intensity, and the rising energy of the full mix – which builds and builds, towards a full-band crescendo that’s euphoric as it drops.
The lyrics and the voice unite to sublime results, and the live-band elevates that looping sentiment, this idea of the ‘pressure’, and this title reference and resolve, in a way that’s addictive to escape into.
Without a doubt, for those who’ve been affected by anorexia in particular, either directly or by way of a loved one, Wren Arkose’ performance of Bones is likely to be all the more compelling, heart-breaking, and impactful.
