These Brittle Bones Begins New Era With Mesmerising Single ‘Postscript’

These Brittle Bones shares the first taste of a new era of releases in the form of ‘Postscript’, a tapestry of shimmering, hazy synthesiser loops, grounded by swells of lo-fi piano and octaved reverb. This is ambient, instrumental music but not as we know it – as the Welsh-Singaporean producer and musician pulls from different artistic realms of literature and poetry, interpreting the words with powerful, emotional instrumentation. With his eye on the creative detail, each track is accompanied by a stunning piece of looping modernistic digital artwork by US artist Cale Peeples.

Speaking on the release, These Brittle Bones says: “Postscript is the first song I’ve released in about three years, and I’ve taken my time to find the exact sound I was happy with. I found that I was limiting myself when trying to fit words to a melody, and instead wanted to explore the expressive capacities of instrumental music, which can communicate in often very powerful ways. In some senses then, Postscript is literally a ‘post-script’ – beyond words – but also a ‘P.S.’ – a retrospective statement, after the event, a few years after I last released music. In other ways, it’s also inspired by a striking Seamus Heaney poem of the same name. Heaney’s poem is rich in images of experiences that one will only encounter once in their lifetime, and I wanted to try and create a sonic landscape capturing the emotion of that poem. To translate it beyond words.”

The musical project of Welsh Singaporean Chris Jones, These Brittle Bones is back with a new sound. Having spent the time locked inside during various lockdowns in Wales, Singapore and London reflecting on his ultimate musical purpose, Chris combined his study of English literature, the influences of notable poets and writers including Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf, and his love of crossover ambient/classical music. The result is a body of work of astute ambient instrumentalism, with synthesiser and piano lines swimming in calm tranquility, all sounds breathing and dovetailing together. If ‘Postscript’ is anything to go by, we can’t wait to hear the other new tracks he’s been busy cooking up.

Ava Valianti turns self-doubt into art with “Laugh Track”

In her new single, “Laugh Track,” Ava Valianti takes us on a peculiar journey through her thoughts and feelings, which many can connect to. With a mix of dark humor and raw honesty, Ava shares her experience of feeling like life is more of a series of awkward moments rather than a smooth story where she’s the star.

Drawing inspiration from movies and shows that explore deep emotions, like The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, “Laugh Track” captures the unsettling feeling of always being on stage, even when nobody’s watching. It resounds with anyone who has sat alone and questioned whether the laughter around them is meant for them or at their expense.

The song combines deeper sounds with a light, catchy vibe, making its heavy themes approachable enough for dancing. Ava’s voice is strong and open, giving each line an authentic feeling that hits home.

“Laugh Track” is a stand-out because it embraces chaos. Ava doesn’t wrap up her insecurity and self-doubt in a tidy package. Instead, she celebrates the messiness of life and finds comfort in the imperfect characters we often see on TV and in ourselves. “Laugh Track” mirrors our experiences. Like the best comedy shows, it makes you laugh, feel uncomfortable, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
