Born Without Bones have released a video for their new single XO Skeleton, taken from their forthcoming album Dancer.
“The whole XO Skeleton thing was a placeholder at first. I thought something chanty and anthem-like would work best vocally for the song. It became a song about wearing your heart on your sleeve and showing your emotions. I’ve never been good at pretending. I’m usually not that hard to read. I’m really the only one who has the power to choose how I’m projecting myself onto others. It’s a song about knowing you need to do the hard work to be happy but falling short and eating a bunch of sugar instead,” explains vocalist/guitarist Scott Ayotte.
Commenting on the video, bassist Jim Creighton adds, “‘XO Skeleton’ is the final video in the BWB Dancer Universe. The idea for the video came from personal experiences I observed from my peers going to church as a young teenagers and the pressure it put on them to be something they’re not. The XO Skeleton video is a light-hearted story of an angsty teenaged daughter breaking out of the families religious expectations and doing what they love even though it’s not what they are expected to do.”
Dancer is due for release on 4th November 2022 via Pure Noise Records, available to pre-order HERE.
