about

"Bones" is the debut release by us. Us is Lo-priestess, and Lo-P is Gina LC and Scott Radway. Gina plays and writes in Dear Forbidden, and Scott writes now for himself (though he once spent years touring the country with other bands.)

First, a collaboration in 2014 on a song for a film soundtrack. Life got in the way for awhile. When the dust settled, plans to revisit the song began to sprout. Then there were more songs. Creations with their own identities -- no relation to our other projects. The thing/band/project needs a name. It's an argument that almost stops us before we've started. But with that finally settled, "EP or full-length?" starts being discussed.

Much thought was put into what we DIDN'T want this album to sound like. Seemingly through the process of elimination (as well as the intervention of musical spirits) a direction is soon envisioned. The material on "Bones" begins life in the traditional way: through the hammering of guitars and clumsy fingers thrown at pianos. But along the way much of the original clatter'n'strum is run through analog and digital grinders, stripped of its conventionality, then lovingly re-crafted with paint and glitter.

The song that started everything was "Today Could Be Someday". Too good to reside purely as a snippet in a scene of a film. "Catnip" also came from those same early sessions, though it was never featured in a film. The arrangement of one has changed dramatically over time, while the other has remained more or less untouched (other than some updated performances).

In the end a compromise was reached on the album length -- a mini-album, longer than an EP but still a reasonable journey for the short-attention-spanned ones among us.
