[Download] Male Bonding - "Bones"

The upcoming sophomore album from Male Bonding, Endless Now, was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studio in Woodstock, NY, the converted 19th century church and now you can grab your first taste from the album in the form of this download "Bones". Some hazy vocals and a retro vibe paired with even more overdubbed guitar lines makes for a pretty big sound for the first taste. Check it out below, and if you want to check out the band on an upcoming UK tour (as well as a French date) you can see the tour dates after the jump. We'll have to wait a little longer for the LP, which is out on August the 30th via Subpop.
