In anticipation of their soon-to-be-released album, local folktronica gurus Skinny Bones will play a show at the Middle East Upstairs on Wednesday 9/14 with support form Yohuna, St. Nothing and Judy Chong.

Because Skinny Bones are gearing up to release their second album, titled “Ponta Delgada,” they promise to play a set with plenty of new music. On top of that, the band’s performance will be entirely guitar-free. This last part is particularly intriguing, as many of the songs from their first album build around airy acoustic guitar parts. The new songs seem largely to break that trend as the band pushes themselves further in an electronic sample-based direction, reminiscent of Arca’s industrial experimentation.

Skinny Bones’ first album, “Noise Floor,” came out in 2014. It’s a chilled out, trippy adventure that conjures up local scenery with songs like ‘Jamaica Plain’ and ‘Blue Hills.’The quality of the band’s songwriting strengths are on full display on songs like ‘Sleep In’ and ‘Sieve.’ A few months after this album dropped, the band released “Noise Floor RMXd,” featuring fascinating re-imaginings of SB’s work from Dinnersss, DRIPKISS, Muddy Wires and more.

The all ages show is $10 and starts at 7PM, and will be presented by Illegally Blind. A new single and corresponding video in anticipation of “Ponta Delgada” are due out soon. Listen to “Noise Floor” below via Soundcloud.
