Canadian rock band Silverstein have just released their new single ‘Skin & Bones,’ out today via UNFD. This marks the first new music from the post-hardcore band since their studio album Misery Made Me, which was released in May 2022, also via UNFD. Speaking about the single, the band’s lead singer, Shane Told, said:
“‘Skin & Bones’ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me. Everyday we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew. Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming… it’s all raw emotion in this track”.
Drummer Paul Koehler adds :
“Earlier this year we ventured out to Joshua Tree, hiding away for several weeks and working intensely on our first batch of new music in 3 years. ‘Skin & Bones’ is packed with heavy emotions and is the first glimpse of what formed in those sessions”.
