Already a staple of their live set, Sascha Ion and The Elements now release the extra-bluesy Cross Your Bones (Bring Me Thunder) — and it’s an easy playlist addition.
Sascha and the band balance understatement with intensity — an interesting juxtaposition that works well with Ion’s vocal stylings and the general vibe of the band. The main chorus hook is catchy and memorable, built around the line “bring me light / bring me thunder / all day long.” There’s a slight scowl in the delivery that gives her voice a real edge. Special mention to bassist Liam Coffey for some excellent lines that wrap around the guitar work.
The trio have found a nice groove pocket, and this is another example of the blues-influenced alt-rock that hits the spot.
Sascha Ion and The Elements launch Cross Your Bones (Bring Me Thunder) this Saturday arvo (May 2) at The Bird. Get down early.
