Banshee
A haunting fusion of 80s sophisti-pop samples and heavy-lidded cloud rap. It captures the cold, flickering glow of a CRT monitor in a dark basement.

Banshee is a masterclass in the aesthetic of digital hauntology. It sounds like a collection of memories recovered from a damaged hard drive, where the lush textures of 1980s new wave and sophisti-pop are stretched and distorted until they resemble ghosts. The production is characterized by its heavy use of The Blue Nile samples, which provide a sophisticated, almost cinematic backdrop to BONES' raw, lo-fi delivery. It is an album that feels both expensive and incredibly cheap, balancing high-fidelity melodic fragments with the grit of basement-recorded vocals and blown-out bass.

The production is pushed notably harder into sample based than this artist usually allows.
