Bones UK announce debut self-titled album

BONES UK have announced their debut album!

The upcoming self-titled album is the debut effort from the London-bred duo and is scheduled to be released in July this year! On the album, vocalist Rosie Bones and guitarist Carmen Vandenberg confront everything from the beauty industrial complex to toxic masculinity to music-scene sexism, embedding each track with choruses primed for passionate shouting-along. Every song is a chance to speak their minds, and to shed light on the disconnect between the status quo and the far more glorious world inside their heads.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be taken from the album; titled Pretty Waste. Speaking about the song and its accompanying music video, Rosie Bones says, “Pretty Waste is about this notion that if you’re attractive you can’t be clever. Or if you’re sexy you can’t be smart. As people we are judged so much for what we look like and people have opinions of what we can or can’t be because of it. It’s about being judged for what you look like and saying fuck that. What you look like on the outside doesn’t have to define who you are on the inside. It’s about not trying to live up to what people expect/want you to be because of your appearance, age, sex, race. You can be whatever you want to be. None of that shit should ever define you or be put on you by other people. It’s unimportant. BONES UK is a band made of two people with very distinct personalities that are linked by the music we make. With the video for Pretty Waste I just wanted to find a way to showcase our different vibes and me and Carmen having our own box to play in was just a simple way of doing that. We then interact with each other between the split screen (breaking it and playing with it) showing that we are linked and operating as one unit. Stuff like me inhaling a cig and Carmen blowing out the smoke gives this feeling of us being this one entity…and that entity is BONES UK.”
