An immersive single with a nostalgic post-punk and dreamy pop intertwining, “Persona Non Grata” is the newest from Bones in Butter. The Serbian band caught our ears with their album Songs For A Sane Society, after which adopted that up with the equally wonderful Cosmopolis, which incorporates the implausible “Persona Non Grata.” Launched through famous Swedish label Rexius Information, the album envelops in its trendy sound, and with “Persona Non Grata” showcases the band’s late ’70s and early ’80s post-punk inspirations — with Bauhaus, Journal, and Lou Reed being amongst the names in that memorable period.
The observe navigates from a late-night, introspective intrigue right into a brighter, harmonious attract. A lushly absorbing sound appeals straight away, as wordless vocal sereneness and twangy guitars meld with a post-punk rhythmic feeling. Milutin Krasevic’s lead vocal emergence thereafter invokes a darker enthrallment, remarking “having you round, this retains dragging us down / you don’t know find out how to shut up.” The scathing commentaries then ascend right into a extra calmly reassuring dreaminess, the vocals letting out “I hope you perceive” because the backing vocals re-enter and a jangling guitar mystique unfolds. “Persona Non Grata” is a stirring, replay-inducing success from Bones in Butter.
