AmericanSweetheart

AmericanSweetheart is a masterclass in the specific intersection of underground rap and the melancholic textures of early 2000s indie rock. BONES leans away from his more aggressive, metal-influenced tendencies here, opting instead for a sound that feels like a forgotten VHS tape found in a dusty Midwest basement. The album is anchored by clean, often brittle electric guitar loops that evoke the spirit of American Football or Mineral, but they are anchored by the heavy, rattling 808s and crisp hi-hats that define the TeamSESH aesthetic. It is a record of quiet spaces and muffled emotions, where the production feels as though it is being heard through a thin apartment wall.
