The success of Indy-based BONESETTERS hinges
on their restrained and straight forward songwriting to create a fine balance
of fast-paced alt-rock and acoustic indie folk. They stick to the essentials:
guitars and drums with catchy vocal hooks. No superfluous effects or
over-saturated reverb…a refreshing change in today’s indie music scene if you
ask us!
Their debut album, SAVAGES, came close to never
being heard when their previous label Mossback Records folded in early 2011,
but with persistence and a successfulKickstarter campaign the band was
able to drop the album last month. And thankfully so, for it has been a delight
to our ears here at LHC. Grounded in a love for poetry and librarians, frontman
Daniel Snodgrass delivers lyrics that are sincere admissions of ordinary life
made poignant, sung with a voice that falls somewhere between Nathan Willet (Cold
War Kids) and Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes). The instrumentation is
clean and tight, with a few strings and horn arrangements to supplement their
catchy riffs and melodies. Take a listen to “Maypole“ below and
hear it for yourself.
Film IN music covered an acoustic performance of
another one of Bonesetters’ standout tracks, “You Are Shaun Gannon”,
which was filmed at Village Green Records. Just watch it out
below. Currently the band is playing a string of shows throughout Indiana
in support of the album with a spring tour in the works.
