Mike Bones' outstanding debut album The Sky Behind The Sea is out today! We couldn't be much more in love with Bones' music - the dude plays with a sincerity and natural talent so rarely seen. In addition to expectedly excellent musicianship The Sky Behind the Sea finds Bones focusing on his lyrics, providing some of the most considered and surprising words that we have heard in a long long time. The Sky Behind The Sea does not dissapoint and features Mike backed up by a bevy of excellent musicians including Parker Kindred (Anthony & The Johnsons), Samara Lubelski, Barry London (Jah Division) and Brad Truax (Jah Division).
