The Parachute Testers – Tired Bones
The Parachute Testers are known for their moody sonic explorations. They send their music out to spatial frames, across expansive grasslands, or the summer sky, perhaps the flowing river or the floating breeze. And what comes back, they put in a theatrical scene for their listeners. Their latest one being ‘Tired Bones’, a song that explores soul exhaustion and a great melancholy weight that comes with it. With long vocal arrangements and performative instrumental scenes, the track is lamentous. The protagonist, a ghost of her past self, traces the shape of her grief. There’s so much mystical imagery and dreamy tones, that you feel transported and thoroughly evoked.
