Mike Bones

Veteran New York musician Mike Bones is, in the words of Allmusic.com, the 'not so secret identity of guitarist and songwriter Mike Strallow', who has worked with such giants of the alternative underground scene as Miighty Flashlight.

He is now doing his own thing, recording under a bewildering childhood nickname. His music is warm, drawling vocal-driven soft rock which sounds a bit like a smokier Bob Dylan singing Silver Jews.

Mike Bones - What I Have Left
Vice

Mike Bones has been fizzling away beneath the surface of Brooklyn's music scene for a while now. Although 'The Sky Behind The Sea' is generally considered to be a bit uneven, if 'What I Have Left' is anything to go by, then the follow up will be amazing.

Starting out with a catchy and rather disarming guitar riff, the song builds to an amazing emotional climax thanks to sparse, starkly haunting vocals about unrequited love. In fact, this song is so poignantly heartbreaking it almost made me cry. It's that good. DH
