“A Dystopian Love Song” is a resonating track fit for the times, from Bones in Butter, a band based in Belgrade, Serbia. Singer/songwriter Milutin Krasevic weaves his gentle vocal presence within melodic washes of guitar. Milutin Krasevic adds a lushly reflective vocal backing, crafting an ethereal rock sound with a late-night allure, reminiscent of Lou Reed and Velvet Underground in balancing nocturnal nonchalance and contemplative emotion.
The band, active since 2019, embrace influences from the ’70s and ’80s — all while creating a sound very much rooted in contemporary charms. Chirpy guitar additions add alongside Krasevic’s wordless vocal accompaniment, as the five-minute turn approaches; this section culminates in the “waiting for the day to dawn,” vocal refrain, fully resonating. “A Dystopian Love Song” engrosses with its dual-vocal delivery and melodic guitar work, capturing a specific moment at night.
“We always deal with serious issues and often in an ironic fashion. For this song I remember the night in a Belgrade club many years ago when I met my current wife,” says Krasevic. “There was this crazy and eerie atmosphere I clearly recall. This event I tried to embed in a story of two lovers spending the night before an impending catastrophic incident.”
The track was mixed and mastered by Dejan Skopelja, at his recording studio in Belgrade.
