bail bonds – I KNOW THAT I NEED YOU

bail bonds first caught our attention last winter, and we’re pleased to say that he’s still impressing us immensely.

New single ‘I KNOW THAT I NEED YOU’ is a beautifully raw and powerful piece of music, that was inspired by the self-realisation that our own actions can sometimes drive the people we love away. Elaborating further, the artist explains:

“maybe i’m projecting but i feel like a lot of people can understand and relate to the pain of hurting someone you love or even worse, driving them away. this song is about the moment of realisation when it sinks in that you’ve lost the person you needed the most and its all your fault. living with that pain, owning it and walking forward in it until it hopefully hurts a little less. that sounds really heavy but the song and production are tinged with a sense of optimism that evokes striving, persevering and maybe even finding happy endings in unexpected places. the searing, ascendant guitars and massive drop deliver a cathartic sense of washing clean. sometimes ‘there ain’t nothing harder than to ask for help,’ but if you can find the courage, it waits for you.”

New Music: bail bonds

Singer-songwriter bail bonds has to be one of the of the most interesting indie artists to have emerged from Brooklyn in recent times.

This talent crafts a very special style of lo-fi music that is refreshingly raw, intriguing, distinctive in character. New single ‘CALIFORNIA KING’ was written as a commentary to society’s relationship with capitalism, and also reminds us that money can never substitute the happiness that comes from love.

“The song is about surviving late-Capitalism in America by draping yourself in a coat of spiritual armour made of LOVE. Its dropping everywhere on November 27th aka Cyber Monday because in late-Capitalist America, we’re all selling something whether we like it or not. The song explores the question, ‘How many compromises can you make before you’re fundamentally compromised?’ In America, all the money is blood money. We’re forced to play a game we don’t want to win by rules we don’t agree with. The only thing that can make it all OK is the only thing that makes anything OK—we find LOVE and we cultivate it like our life depends on it (because it does). The song is ultimately a love letter to my girl—I’ll play the game, I’ll chase the money, I’ll dance with the darkness and run the rat race to create this life for us. I’ll do it all because the only thing I know for sure is that with you by my side, that darkness will never become us.”

The track is taken from the artist’s upcoming 3-track collection, which is called ‘Triptych 001: The Bluebird’.
