Despite it’s haunting exterior that feels ominous and at times unnerving, Darling Finch’s latest single “The Heart and The Bone” is really a track about upliftment, empowerment, and betterment for those facing repression at a societal level. The song cuts into anyone who has ever felt left behind, felt outcasted, felt cast aside by the pressures and norms around them both societally and legally. A particular focus and dedication towards the increasing struggles of transgender folks in America lead Darling Fitch to dedicate this tune to them and their cause.
There’s a certain creeping nature to this song, a brooding intensity that just builds with increasing fear and power with the echoing vocals and the almost horror movie score of a beat that just beckons all around you. It’s an avant garde exploration into soundscapes that are dramatic and descriptive even. It’s an experiential journey, a revelation on the beauty of what it means ot be alive in the wake of those who hate and decry you for your very existence.
