Fox and Bones are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, if Bonnie and Clyde had driven a Volvo and played folk-pop music. Based in Portland, OR, these internationally touring sweethearts aren’t your average duo. Rather than simply documenting their experiences in song, Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write from the perspective of quasi-fictional characters. There’s Fox, a down-and-out it girl, and Bones, a rootless orphan bad boy with a heart of gold. The two fall for each other, decide to hit the road, and never look back.

They are gearing up to release their new album Better Land, and have been turning heads with the first couple singles. We are thrilled to have the exclusive premiere of the entire album today on GroundSounds! From the opening notes of the opener “Little Animal” – this is an album that grabs you, draws you in, and makes you feel good. Dueling vocals and impressive melodies are only the beginning. Better Land is exceptional, and impossible not to love.
 
In their own words:

Better Land is a collection of songs written during our past year of touring the United States and Europe. It touches on the trials and tribulations of life on the road and finding comfort  in the unknown. It is a balance of modern love and the ephemeral beauty of spontaneity mixed with a hint of recklessness. The album was recorded and mixed by Matt Greco at the Rye Room, Portland, Oregon and produced by Dominik Lukas Schmidt.
