At times it feels like Cobble Hill, Brooklyn’s dancehall/dub/reggaeton/folk-strummer Sean Bones’ songs are only one chromosome up the evolutionary ladder from the Sublimes and Sugar Ray’s of the world. At other times his lo-fi jams are refreshing, even inventive workouts of street-level rhythm and groove.-
In July Bones (né Sam Champion) released RINGS via French Kiss. The album ends on a gorgeous duet with Norah Jones singing the song “Turn Them” (featured above with Merida Rose providing female vocal). The chemistry of their collab. rings out the soggy reggae inflections heard throughout the record and gives rise to a sparkling pop gem that finds bones moving in slightly more evolved circles.-
At any rate Bones is playing at The Drunken Unicorn on Fri., Sept. 18. Le Chansons open. $8 (adv). $10 (door).-
