RAG N' BONE “Wood & Wire” Single Release

After a year of non-stop performances across Perth venues, Rag n' Bone have finally released their single “Wood & Wire” from their much anticipated debut EP!
The track takes a sharp turn from their last offering and features an excerpt from mythical man Cowboy John, who is hidden amongst other Perth recordings such as Pond's “Hobo Rocket”.
The band spent one week in the Fremantle home and Studio of Rob Grant (Poons Head Studio) tracking the EP live to tape. Rob Grant is renowed for his work with artists such as Tame Impala, The Kill Devil Hills and Eskimo Joe to say the least. It is no surprise then, that the recording captures Rag n' Bone's compelling drive and dynamic aesthetic.

Local photographer Amber Bateup has also been collaborating with the band to produce a series of stunning photographs and film to coincide with the release.

“Wood & Wire” is taken from the bands' debut EP "A Woman Under The Influence"

lyrics

two birds perched
on the foot of a hill,
he cranked his neck,
'cuz he'll never get his fucking fill,
her talon's caught,
in the charred stone ground,
he broke his beak,
failing to dig her out.

it's just wood and wire

a parlour piece,
sits in the yard,
a body hollowed,
from a life lived hard,
a nest readymade,
from an old pig gut,
a leg brace fashioned,
from an ivory nut.

it's just wood and wire

pulling from a can-
teen full of whiskey,
they clipped his wings,
with a bloodied blunt bump key,
she fought them off,
her chipped claw and all,
she wrapped him up,
in a dirty torn prayer shawl

it's just wood and wire
