Skin and Bones

Fear of Music

unsigned

WE SAY

We recently received three new recordings from Manchester's prodigious Fear Of Music. Wow. There were hints of great songwriting ability on The Waltz (which we featured around In The City). Now it's coming to fruition, and Skin And Bones is our favourite of the lot. There will be a double A sided single on the Blowout label in March, but in the meantime, feast on this.
