All Ears Avow’s brand new EP is out next month and the Swindon-based four-piece have now revealed a second cut from the collection. ‘All Your Pieces’ was the first track that the band wrote for the ‘Skin & Bones’ EP. “It really set the tone for the direction my writing was going in both lyrically and musically,” says vocalist and guitarist Claire Sutton. “It’s about taking charge of your own existence and not relying on things to just fall into place.”
‘Skin & Bones’ is set for release on 14th December and the title track is also out now. All Ears Avow draw inspiration from unlikely sources on the forthcoming release. ‘Got Lucky’ is informed by the band’s parents’ record collections – Salt N Pepper, Chaka Khan, Eurythmics to Roxette and Duran Duran. All Ears Avow have pushed themselves musically throughout the EP. “The music we’ve been finding ourselves digging more and more, playing out as loud as we can and singing along to in our van, is the side of rock music that’s totally blurring the boundaries between itself and pop music, hip hop, dance, r’n’b etc,” says Sutton. “Rock music seems like it’s swallowing itself whole lately – you have to do more to stand out and we wanted to do that while playing songs that we loved more than anything.” Their embracing of pop sensibilities, whilst retaining the rock drive of their roots and instruments, results in big choruses, big riffs, groove, technicality and emotion all rolled into one.
