Track Of The Day :: Thomston - Collarbones

Thomston may be a relatively new name in the frame on this sidebif the waters, but judging by this song, ‘Collarbones’, one who will be around for a while.

Thomston is the solo alias of 19-year-old London-born, Auckland-raised singer and producer Thomas Stoneman, who releases his ‘Backbone' EP on April 20. This follows the international success of 2014’s ‘Argonaut’ EP, which has already been streamed over 4 million times on Spotify and seen the New Zealander named as a One To Watch.

'Collarbones' is a brooding, lush minimalist work that is sparse in a SOHN way, taking hip-hop beats and combining with a Bon-Iver-like ambience in a song that lyrically addresses a friend developing
an eating disorder.

Thomston will play his debut UK show at The Great Escape Festival in May.
