I Am The Unicorn Head – Skeleton

I Am The Unicorn Head returns with “Skeleton,” their third single from our forthcoming album “Skeleton Stories.” The song follows the footsteps of “Dude, Your Mom’s Squid” and “The Worms,” exceptional tracks released last year. As usual, I Am The Unicorn Head takes the fundamentals of indie music as a starting point. However, this time, they aimed to deliver a much calmer, soothing, ethereal ballad decorated with many properties borrowed from different but complementary music genres. Don’t be surprised if you stumble upon sonic ingredients taken from alternative, alt-folk, indie folk, folk rock, soft rock, etc. They always combine all the additional elements with such precision and finesse, making their songs a pleasant listening experience worth repeating over and over again. That’s the case with “Skeleton,” a number that showcases their natural progression but also keeps the signature moves heard in their previous works. I Am The Unicorn Head use these additional elements to uplift their dominant indie foundation, so this track will unquestionably appeal to even the pickiest indie fans and beyond.

As soon as you press play, you’ll notice how flawlessly recorded, warm-sounding, detailed, cleverly assembled chord progressions serve as a perfect backdrop for a magnificent vocal performance that glides over low, mid, and high notes with such ease. The vocals and acoustic guitar work harmoniously, shaping the calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal atmosphere that lurks throughout the entire number. I Am The Unicorn Head also included catchy and powerful leads and ambiances delivered by string instruments. These sonic maneuvers arrive like more than necessary cherry on the top, making this composition even more complex. You’ll also hear how equally complex, vividly hearable, tastefully arranged low-end notes offer more heaviness, clarity, and depth but also serve as a binding element that keeps the remainder of the instrumentations and drums together. Of course, “Skeleton” wouldn’t be complete without exceptional drumming performance based upon half-time, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics. Every instrument plays a crucial role in this sonic equation, which sounds magnificent by all means.

I Am The Unicorn Head surprise with each new song. Their ability to continuously deliver top-notch ideas and performance goes beyond comprehension. “Skeleton” is a marvelous indie ballad with many thoroughly planned segments, where every instrument offers carefully assembled leads, melodies, harmonies, chord progressions, and rhythmic sequences. These folks know what they’re doing and they’re doing it pretty well. You should place “Skeleton” on your radar as soon as possible because it will become your go-to track whenever you need ethereal indie music. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
