Sea Glass brought in singer Misty Boyce for the hazy dream pop track “Razor Bones” from his new EP Elevator Chat. A spare guitar line provides some background texture to Boyce’s warmly melodic vocals floating in slow wash of incandescent synths. This combination and the use of vintage electronic pop sounds lends the song an air of nostalgia or at least a fondness for shared experiences in a moment of indulgent reflection. The song seems to be about feeling vulnerable and fragile but allowing that frame of mind to be open to the positive intentions and feelings coming your way. The line “If you’re the starlight give my heart to the night/How do I reach you? Still holding on” speaks to the ability a person has to harbor hope even coming from a low point in life. The glimmering tonality of the song evokes those threads of hope that keep a heart together that’s been broken as well. In terms of structure and atmosphere “Razor Bones” is reminiscent of the Lower Dens song “I Get Nervous” and that song’s own sheltered hopefulness.
