One hot summer under the shade of a Queenslander indie-rock 5-piece
Timber Bones jammed out their first song together. “Travelling Song” was
written in celebration of one of Australia’s newest pass-times- “the
festival romance.” A side effect of excessive cider consumption and
inadequate sun safety the festival romance is a whirlwind of summer
dresses, white smoke and young love. The third single from Timber Bones
"Travelling Song" is best enjoyed in the company of strangers with
inhibitions left back home with your day job.The bouncy, folk-rock tune takes inspiration from the likes of Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes and The Mama's and the Papa's. "When we first started writing music together we had aimed for a more folky sound overall,” says guitarist Kendall. "Originally the guitar lines were written for banjo and the song was jug-tootingly folky. When the song came out of pre-production at The Palace, producer Caleb James had worked this awesome festival vibe around it. People heard it and started dancing so naturally it became our festival song and my banjo became a paper-weight."
Timber Bones leave on their maiden bus voyage after a month’s work under the very same Queenslander. Planning an east-coast tour for the coming summer Timber Bones whole journey will be documented in a web-series to appear on their website. Find it through the usual social media outlets and stay up to date with the latest news, song teasers and competitions.
