Search - Justin Robinson, Mary Annettes :: Bones for Tinder

Five head Entertainment is proud to present Justin Robinson & the Mary Annette s Bones for Tinder.

Justin Robinson is an eclectic individual known for his work with the Grammy award-winning, old-time African-American string band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and more recently as leader of Justin Robinson & the Mary Annettes.

Bones for Tinder is a vivid portrayal of Justin & his artistic vision. Bonfire and Nemesis and Me recall the crepuscular indie rock of the Go-Betweens, while the slowly unspooling lyrical intro to Kissin and Cussin flirts with sepia-tone hip-hop. Ships and Verses dishes out grooves that could prompt the foot soldiers of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation to bust out in a buck and wing or merry minuet, as mandolin and fiddle licks run rings around Motown handclaps. For Vultures, strokes across the auto harp ride skeletal funk breaks with the surprising grace of an equestrienne sitting sidesaddle. It is impossible to pigeonhole the Mary Annettes. 'I could characterize in any one genre,' concurs Robinson. 'It's what I like, which is lots of different things... and everything I 've been influenced by.'
