boi&eSKae deliver introspective, driving and haunting indie roots rock single, 'Feel It In My Bones'

Sunshine Coast captivating indie pop duo, boi&eSKae have given a first taste of their debut album ‘Come Out Of The Darkness’ with the introspective single, ‘Feel It In My Bones.

Mixed & Mastered by Triple Grammy Award Winning engineer and producer Alan Branch (U2, Jeff Beck, Sinead O’Connor) in London, Lead singer and songwriter, boi Crompton, describes the single as “a landmark occasion born out of the necessity to release music” after a break from music back in 2002.

‘Feel It In My Bones’ is haunting indie roots, planted firmly in the outer realms of alternative, with a heavy sense of mid to late 90s nostalgia ringing throughout. boi&eSKae are so musically entwined, after 3 decades together, that the songwriting and harmonising on this track just seems effortless. ‘Feel It In My Bones’ is one of those songs that has the ability to stop you in your tracks to absorb it, to either be in the moment, or see where it takes you.

Forced to abandon their career after boi was hit by a truck as a pedestrian, the duo put their art aside and embarked on a career in Touring Production roles that saw them both work with some of the biggest artists in the world at that time, and quite a few occasions finding themselves together on the same tour.

The duo left the hustle of touring in 2015 and have since been concentrating on their own music which boi describes as completely autobiographical.

“Feel It In My Bones, for example, evolved from boi’s decision to discontinue medication after 12 long years intended to help him deal with the symptoms of complex PTSD. “Quite suddenly I felt human again and started to feel things that had been suppressed for way, way too long. I had been numbed by these drugs” says boi. “Feel It In My Bones” also has a very positive message in that the world throws you curve balls daily, but it’s how we react that makes us who we are as human beings.

boi&eSKae have toured with and have supported many Australian and International acts such as INXS, YOTHU YINDI, ROACHFORD, HANSON, BEN LEE. CHRISTINE ANU, DIESEL, ROGUE TRADERS, MENTAL AS ANYTHING, IOTA & RENE GEYER.

They are also regulars at major festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Agnes Blues Roots and Rock Festival and Gympie Music Muster. boi&eSKae first appeared on the major festival circuit back in 2000 where they gained the title of the first act to play a Major Australian festival (Big Day Out) after the disastrous and decidedly unremarkable Y2K debacle ceased to end the world as we knew it!

‘Feel It In My Bones’ is out now on all streaming platforms, with the album ‘Come Out Of The Darkness’ scheduled for release towards the end of 2024.
