“Bone Dry,” was written during a paradigm shift within the band. It came together almost instantly. The song is an excellent example of a first idea best idea situation that translated perfectly in the recording process. “We tracked and mixed the thing in like one afternoon,” says O’Brien, “It flowed through us and was done so quickly, all we could do was laugh.” Naturally then, there’s an immediacy to the song, which focuses on dissociating from a life that one feels at odds with, perhaps in fear of. ”Bone dry or Heaven made,” sings O’Brien, “Have you been locked out of the game, babe?” The song is propulsive, jagged, raw and talky. It’s a delight to listen to, brimming with emotion and huge ideas.
