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.
