专辑简介

Bones Muhroni was another story, but at the same time not so different. I did find their first song on the poppy side, but they soon engaged themselves into more rockers with a rare energy, and some raucous and quirky humor. Suddenly they were all over the place, pop, rock, blues, alt-country but always showing an exuberant youth and these screaming-soaring bi-harmonies that make you want to join the choir and forget about everything bad that may be happening in your life at the moment… a bit like certain songs of Bright Eyes, you probably know which ones if you are a fan. However Bones Muhroni didn’t really seem to be about any kind of angst or melancholy, at least they didn’t look like on stage, they were some real jokers and entertainers. With catchy songs and a great confidence, the band gave us a large sample of their eclectic talent, even bringing more and more guests on stage, adding harmonica, a friend at wobbling keys and even a cello player with soulful strings for a more spacey-emotional number. They had cute funny songs, truly rocking ones and even epic ones, but they sure knew how to rise up the party ambiance level. Guitarist/singer Crew Rienstra’s unique style of dancing, mid contortion mid kickboxing, coupled with his harmonies with other vocalist and guitarist Chris Jones, were the main attraction of the ensemble getting bigger and bigger at each song.

They have released an album ‘Savvy’, and yeah since I was making some references, ‘The Mender’ has complete Shins’ harmonies. These guys are from Colorado, where they are very probably already local stars, so are they another band trying to make it in Los Angeles? I guess as they announced they were recording an album here… anyway just a good and ordinary night in Los Angeles, listening to sweet tunes before everyone gets crazy about them.
