MIKE BONES “A delicately constructed palate of acoustic guitars, string arrangements and woeful lyrics about lost love.” – XLR8R “A Fool For Everyone was made in April 2008 at a place called The Seaside Lounge. A few musicians joined me, old and new All these songs were written after June 2007, except “Everybody’s Always Coming Down On Me” which is quite an old song. I wrote one on the beach in Spain, the rest at my desk in New York City. Other songs were written in that time and in those There are a lot of guitars on A Fool for Everyone, not just mine, but Matt Sweeney’s too. Our moves go well together. My last record purposefully had no guitar solos, this one purposefully does. Intention is important when making things, having complete understanding of one’s intentions less so. I heard my father doesn’t like the cover of this record because it’s a naked picture of me. It’s OK, I sort of knew he wouldn’t. I like the picture and I like the girl who took it. I have my reasons. All of the above is factual as far as I can tell. Memory is a tricky thing, but you know that. We’ve probably read the same books. Good night.” - Mike Bones A Fool For Everyone is Mike Bones’ second album. It was recorded by Mitch Rackin at Seaside Lounge and mixed by Nicholas Vernhes at Rare Book Room. The record features a number of musicians including Matt Sweeney (Bonnie Prince Billy, Chavez, Zwan), Parker Kindred (Antony & The Johnsons), Ken Griffin (Favourite Sons), Brad Truax (Jah Division), members of Sian Alice Group (Rupert Clervaux, Ben Crook, Sasha Vine and Eben Bull) and Douglas Armour. It provides another ample demonstration of Mike Bones’ compositional range and depth as a songwriter; and stellar talents as a lyricist. |
