Post Rock from Bones In Butter

At the start of lockdown, Serbian artist Milutin Krašević started a new project and looked online to connect with other musicians who could help him realise his sonic vision. Soon after, Bones In Butter was born. With a fusion of players from all around the Belgrade underground music scene, the six creatives came together with their several years of touring and band experience.

Luna Škopelja (vocals and samples), Todor Živković (guitars), Dejan Škopelja (bass), Tom Fedja Franklin (drums) and Srdjan Popov (mixing) form the bedrock of Bones In Butter with Krašević providing his visionary touches and leading the outfit. Their collective work offers lyricism steeped in poetic poignancy to create a reflective and engaging tone in their sound.

Now they bring us the new track, “Stop Dancing Now”, a high-octane punk rock style track that has bags of grit underneath it’s clean production and arrangement. A dark and gloomy sonic frame is contrasted by euphoric and catchy chorus lines to deliver a sound that’s truly unique.

Alongside the single, they’ve dropped a music video directed by Rachel Laws. The video throws down a frantic neo noire visual scene to perfectly capture the outlook of the song in the moving image.

Commenting on the track, band leader Milutin Krašević shares, “In hindsight, for this particular song, I realise the strong influence of Nash the Slash, an obscure Canadian multi-instrumentalist I used to listen to in my early twenties. As a consequence, this track differs from other Bones in Butter releases as it incorporates lots of elements of the electronic and industrial genres.”

Continuing, “Thematically, it is a social commentary, tongue in cheek, it is a doomsday song, dedicated to human progress, greed and ruthlessness. Rachel Laws’ frantic dance routine offers a cool visualisation of this “we-are-all-doomed” idea.”
