Sean Bones: Buzzards Boy

Frenchkiss

Brooklyn, N.Y. indie-reggae sensation Sean Bones is a selfdescribed “late night tropical disease party.” But Buzzards Boy proves that Bones is a versatile musician capable of more than dubby island tunes. For his sophomore effort, he partnered with Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Neon Indian) for a record that is a little more indie and a little less Jamaica, but still feels like your trustiest pair of summer shoes. The keyboard hook from the album’s first single, “Here Now,” is catchy enough for an Apple advertisement before settling into the sun-kissed “Hit Me Up,” which features lazy steel drums, an inviting bass hook and spacey sound effects. The reverby breakdowns of “Wondering” and “Cobra Trip” further contribute to the summery melting pot.

This is the proper blog for abyondy who needs to find out about this topic. You realize so much its virtually laborious to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!
