Fox and Bones: 'Gravity' [Song Premiere]

Vortex Music Magazine

Listen to the second offering from the couple and songwriting team's debut EP, due out on August 18, which will be celebrated with a release show at the White Eagle Saloon that same day.

Up until now, we've only heard one intimate, delicate track from Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore (also of Just People). Recording under the moniker of Fox and Bones, the aptly titled "Warm" (watch them perform it live at The Hallowed Halls below) is a soft, beautiful, harmony-rich salvo from their debut effort.

"Gravity" is our next love song and it's countrified, in the best possible way. Tinged with a musical sadness (thanks to the lap steel provided by Wil Kinky and Yoko Silk on cello), the lyrics share deep thoughts while discovering essential connections with another and the universe.

"This particular track was penned by Sarah Vitort and was originally meant to be a solo tune," Gilmore tell Vortex. "She hadn't played it for anyone until a late-night music session where she asked for a little advice on changing the chord structure. When I first heard it, I immediately loved it and asked if this could be a Fox and Bones song. We went into the studio two days later and recorded it."

That studio was once again The Hallowed Halls, where Justin Phelps recorded and mixed it, followed by mastering at Cloud City Sound. The cut also features Todd Gee on bass and percussion by Alex Greene.

Listen to "Gravity" and watch a live version of "Warm" below, and then continue to follow the folk collaboration of Fox and Bones in anticipation of their debut EP release on Thursday, August 18 at the White Eagle Saloon.
