Bones in Butter’s new single “Persona Non Grata” opens with a dark, gripping energy that instantly sets the tone. The post-punk influence is unmistakable, yet the band makes it feel alive and relevant to today. The bass line moves steadily like a heartbeat, holding everything together while sharp guitars weave in and out, giving the track its edge. The synths add an eerie atmosphere, almost cinematic in the way they frame the mood. From the very start, the song pulls you into its world, and it never lets go until the final note fades.
The vocals are one of the strongest aspects of this track. Milutin Krasevic delivers his lines with a sense of weight and conviction, almost as if he is telling a story that demands to be heard. Luna Skopelja’s presence adds another layer, her voice creating contrast and tension that makes the song even more dynamic. Their interaction feels like a conversation in shadows, each phrase bouncing off the other in a way that keeps the listener engaged. The lyrics carry both personal emotion and social reflection, making the title “Persona Non Grata” feel more than fitting—it becomes a statement about being silenced or pushed aside, but not forgotten.
What makes this single stand out is its balance between familiarity and originality. You can hear the echoes of Magazine and Bauhaus in its DNA, but the band doesn’t settle for imitation. Instead, they bring their own story, rooted in the themes of their album ‘COSMOPOLIS’, which reflects real events and struggles in Serbia. The result is a song that is not only sonically rich but also meaningful. “Persona Non Grata” feels like both a protest and a confession, a track that resonates long after listening and solidifies Bones in Butter’s place as a band with something important to say.
