Austrian songstress AVEC, has shared her latest single 'Bones' taken from her debut album What If We Never Forget. The album was produced by
Lukas Hillebrand and
Alexander Pohn (Vera, Elke, Tyler, Julian Le Play), and will be released via Earcandy Recordings on 9th February. 'Bones' follows her recent single 'Waiting For' as well as 'Waiting For Remixes' which includes reworkings by electronic producers Alex Schulz, HOUT and Nora Medin. Alex Schulz's remix received support from major Youtube channels Mr Revillz, The Vibe Guide and Chill Your Mind and HOUT's remix was premiered by Data Transmission. AVEC is scheduled to perform at Eurosonic Noorderslag Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands in January 2018 alongside artists such as Rone, Sigrid, Dillon, Au/Ra and many more.
Writing music is how 22-year old vocalist and musician AVEC keeps the wolf from her door - often reflecting on personal life experiences and weaving her life's narrative . After the release of her 2015 EP Heartbeats, AVEC has bridged the gap between writing heartfelt lyrics and experimenting with textural sounds. For AVEC, lyrics are the key component to writing music, and language is a place of retreat - which leaves additional room for interpretation. Distancing herself from negative life experiences, AVEC simultaneously shares her own creative story through the powerful portrayal of human life and emotions through her music. AVEC has graced the stages of Reeperbahn Festival 2016 with the likes of
Biffy Clyro and Get Well Soon, Vilar de Mouros Festival in Portugal with Primal Scream,
Morcheeba and The Dandy Warhols, and opened for
Zucchero at Burg Clam in her native Austria.
Although inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, John Mayer, The Lumineers, Oscar and the Wolf,
Kings of Leon, Daughter, RYX, AVEC succeeds in creating her own language, where her imagination and ideas come together in her music. AVEC's sound is comparable to the magical atmosphere just before the sun sets behind the mountains. It is melancholic but hopeful: the sun will rise again tomorrow.
The emotional imprint of 'Bones' is striking. Hushed and haunting, AVEC navigates the track with heartfelt sensitivity, delivered in a pure, unblemished voice. The result is a perfect, melodic flow - beautiful to listen to.
AVEC said about the new single, "'Bones' captures the feeling of unconditional love in the darkest times - I wrote this song long time ago and it was a tough one, to write and to record, because I never really knew, how this song should sound and how I want it to appear - but I am more than happy with the outcome and excited to share my song 'Bones' with you."
