The track is from the British artist’s stellar new EP Into Dust
Anchored by her stunning vocals and the moving and impactful nature of her distinctive alternative pop sound, Iona Luke‘s latest single ‘Bones’ is a powerful exploration of themes like love and pain and the blurred lines between them when your desire gets intense and gripping.
There is a really atmospheric nature to the way that the track builds, growing from a stripped-back, acoustic release to something that feels altogether more haunting and consuming in the same way that the same kind of relationships do. There is a deftness and a nuance to the track that conveys these emotions in such an effortless way without it feeling inauthentic and forced, and it makes for a compelling listening experience that serves as a potent exploration of desire and the hold that it can have over you.
“Bones is a silently terrifying track about attachment and desire in their purest physical forms, when wanting someone is felt inside your bones,” she says. “It explores the idea that, in love, pain can become more trustworthy and familiar feeling than joy or excitement.”
