NUMBERS (BURY THE BODY) — LATEST SINGLE RELEASE
NUMBERS (BURY THE BODY)
1 November 2024
Would you help hide the body if someone you loved committed murder?
On their latest single, Numbers (bury the body), Cedarsmoke ponder the limitations of love on a guilty conscience. In the form of a three-and-a-half-minute indie rock anthem, with a numerical, sing-a-long chorus, Cedarsmoke contemplate this homicidal conundrum, referencing Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky to the tune of ghostly guitars, echoing pianos and haunting banjos.
Like a murderous nightmare, you won’t be able to get Numbers (bury the body) out of your head.
