Bones For The Boatman is Lennox C.B.’s Album Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
Albums today often surrender to predictable formulas, but Lennox C.B. refuses that path.
Pure As Your Protocol is The Lunar Keys’ Single Out Now
His album Bones For The Boatman is a journey of shadowed mysticism, desert-burnt psychedelia, and emotional depth that reaches beyond genre.
The opening track, “Rapture,” hooks you right away with an ancestral arpeggio that feels spiritual and mysterious. There is something raw in its shape—unpolished, almost ritualistic. It evokes the image of a lonesome desert night where silence has a voice of its own. When the vocals enter—deep, hypnotic, and slightly ghostly—they do not simply tell a story; they invoke an atmosphere. This is the sound of a pilgrimage beginning.
With “Fire Flower,” the enigma deepens. Lennox continues to build landscapes rather than songs—places of dust, emotion, and dreams. His music plays like a collision between pastoral beauty and dystopian vision. Gentle melodies burn slowly, but under them lies tension, a quiet storm that never fully reveals itself. The track carries a cinematic pull, proof that Lennox understands space as much as songcraft.
“Alone Again” brings a new element into focus—the influence of grunge woven into his identity. The vocals carry shades of Layne Staley and Shannon Hoon, yet the result is not imitation. Instead, it is grunge through a psychedelic lens, a sonic desert shaped out of memory and introspection. Hints of Blind Melon, Kula Shaker, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana surface, yet Lennox bends those influences toward something entirely his own.
“Heavy Heart” keeps the twilight atmosphere alive. Built on a mesmerizing guitar pattern that recalls Noir Désir, the song expands like smoke in a candlelit room. The chorus is fragile and aching, floating just above silence—a soap bubble of emotion that could burst at any moment. It’s not dramatic; it’s human.
The album closes with “Tapestry,” and the title could not be more fitting. This song feels stitched from myth and memory. Acoustic textures drift in slow motion, guiding the listener into a trance. One can imagine a dancer swirling by lantern light, lost in ritual as the chords ripple in hypnotic circles. It is timeless, moving, and hauntingly beautiful.
Bones For The Boatman is a statement of artistic identity. This album doesn’t just play—it summons.
