Silverstein is excited to share their visceral new single “Skin & Bones”, out now via UNFD. Along with the song – the band’s first release of 2024 – they have also shared a new music video which you can watch below.

“‘Skin & Bones’ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me,” shares vocalist Shane Told. “Everyday we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew.”

He continues: “Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming…it’s all raw emotion in this track.”

Adds drummer Paul Koehler: "Earlier this year we ventured out to Joshua Tree, hiding away for several weeks and working intensely on our first batch of new music in 3 years. ‘Skin & Bones’ is packed with heavy emotions and is the first glimpse of what formed in those sessions.”      

Silverstein released their latest studio album, Misery Made Me, in 2022 via UNFD and followed it up with Misery Made Me Deluxe in 2023. Inspired by the pandemic, Misery Made Me is a depiction of Silverstein – and the world at large’s – collective turmoil, frustration, and anxiety. It’s a record that is a product of the moment in time in which it was created yet doesn’t feel like it will date itself anytime soon, as many of its topics of loneliness, anxiety and isolation are eternal human struggles.
