The Sacred Bones Recording Concern has endeavored to release anything grimy, seemingly recorded in a dungeon and sounding like it. Despite that approach becoming the rough modus operandi for a slew of imprints today, the folks behind Sacred Bones apparently have a bit more of a tempered palette than most.

Granted, acts like Zola Jesus and…well mostly just Zola Jesus, work to redefine how obnoxious and boring a music can be simultaneously, the rest of Bones’ roster is shockingly strong in the most underground sense possible. Part of what makes the assemblage of talent so enthralling is that it’s not city specific. And really while most of the acts working with Sacred Bones would describe its music as somehow tied to garage, punk or psych, there’s not too much of an aural through line.
