My first exposure to Brooklyn\u2019s\u00a0Dr. Skinnybones<\/a>\u00a0came the same way a lot of great Brooklyn bands come to my attention, through the aid of Oliver Ignatius. His studio has been releasing compilations of all the bands they work with, and on\u00a0Mama Coco\u2019s Funky Kitchen Section 2<\/a>, Dr. Skinnybones had a song called \u201cBad Education.\u201d It\u2019s a great song, and the rest of their similarly named full-length is of equal quality. I got out to New York to see a show the studio put on featuring a bunch of their bands, and Dr. Skinnybones didn\u2019t disappoint, ripping through a bunch of songs in their 30-minute set. Jake Williams and Miles Joris-Peyrafitte have a great energy together, and it continues to show on their new album\u00a0A Last Hurrah For The Glory Of Drinking Alone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It starts with a two-parter, \u201cRevenge I\u201d and \u201cRevenge II,\u201d a dark breakup song about the desire of a scorned lover to crush the one who betrayed them. A slow burn if ever there was one, the songs are a change of pace from the usual high-octane post-punk they do so well. Williams gets to bare his soul a bit more than usual, and it almost feels like a song from a Broadway musical the way it builds up on top of itself. Halfway through part two of the song there\u2019s trumpet and hard rollicking drums behind Williams\u2019 amped up guitar. The end adds the singing saw of Julian Koster (his Memory Tapes bandmate Robbie Cucchiaro provides the horn). There\u2019s one really great verse in there that goes:<\/p>\n

I know the truth. You\u2019re afraid of me.
\nYou cower in your room and watch the streets.
\nBut your mistake-you think you\u2019re strong.
\nBut I can tear your heart out with this song<\/p>\n
