Toliesel - Bones

Hola, gentle readers. It's a sneaky super Monday blog post for you, and I'm hugely HUGELY excited about this one (yes, even though it is Monday, I'm freezing cold and knackered after a day at the coalface).

Last year, some of you more eagle eyed readers will remember I reviewed a stunning EP from a band called Toliesel, on One Note Records. If you don't, you can read the post HERE. I loved it instantly, and it seems like we've all been waiting ages for the follow up. Well (be still my beating trousers) it's arrived and my GOD it was worth the sleepless nights, the descent into depression and th...OK, I'm exaggerating a bit...

The new EP won't actually be out until 21st March, but you can take a cursory glance at it here:

..and also make your way over to have a listen to their other brilliant tracks.

However, today sees the release of the single from the EP - called "Bones", which you can stream here:

I absolutely implore you to do so. The new song marks quite a departure for the band, but it's one that's very worth a listen. The guitars are so infectious, so scuzzy and driven - and the song has a real US Alt-rock feel to it. What makes it different is the wonderful, plaintive voice of their lead vocalist, which gives the song a nice subtle contrast - making it feel just a cut above them being just "another" guitar band. "Bones" deserves your attention and some real air play. It's a hint of some wonderful new tracks to come on the new EP and once that's released in March, I'll be featuring it in it's entirety here on the blog.

But for now, marvel in the gloriousness of "Bones". A top song from a band that have got a brilliant future ahead.
