The story behind Leave The Bones and Jeremy Bogen is worth telling: if nothing else, just because it delivers the idea that making music can be pursued at any moment in life. For the talented surfer and songwriter behind the project, inspiration struck at 40, giving his existence a new outlook and a new cathartic outlet to process reality and introspective thoughts. Based in Costa Rica, Bogen has recently unveiled ‘Heart On My Sleeve’, his latest single.
Sonically, ‘Heart On My Sleeve’ feels rather hypnotic and intoxicating, with the project’s acoustic folk-like imprint here blooming into thicker soundscapes, an aural carpet that perfectly fits Bogen’s raw, nostalgic vocals. In that sense, we are intrigued by the guitar sound in the track; it’s not acoustic per sé, instead embracing a gentle and lo-fi electronic tone that creates a heightened sense of space. From a genre standpoint, Leave The Bones doesn’t necessarily focus on a single genre, instead borrowing from Americana and indie-folk, perhaps with some ambient influences as well.
Delving deeper into the meaningful and personal lyrical ethos that propels the song, Bogen explains: “It’s time to stop looking back for perspective. This is the moment for defiance and swagger. The music doesn’t require it. My life and the paradise my wife and I inherited and are fighting to protect does.” We appreciate the honesty that hides behind Leave The Bones. It’s Jeremy’s pure, unfiltered artistic vision.
