Hudson Valley alt-rock collective Our Bones delivers a gut-punch of truth and tension with their latest single, โAll the Time,โ released on September 26th, 2025. Known for blending the emotional weight of Manchester Orchestra with the grit of Bad Books and Young the Giant, the band channels post-pandemic introspection into a song that feels as timely as it is timeless.
Written during lockdown, โAll the Timeโ wrestles with helplessness, injustice, and the shared fatigue of living through constant global crisis, especially as it has boiled down to the horrific Palestinian genocide. Recorded at The Studio at Old Ridge in Warwick, NY, the trackโs raw, live-sounding production captures the frustration and numbness that define modern disillusionment.
The song opens with gritty guitar riffs that grind against steady, well-paced drums, immediately grounding the listener in a haze of melancholy energy. The lead vocals come in calm and detached, and conversational, as he sings, โIt happens all the time / I drink a seltzer, splash of lime,โ a casual image masking despair, like he is desensitized to the news, perfectly depicting modernism. The tone is vulnerable yet resigned, like someone too tired to scream but too awake to stay silent.
To make things playful and fun like the system tries to make light of their actions, the song brings in these playful electronic nostalgic video game sounds, coming off like a sardonic laugh.
As the track builds, the tension simmers until it finally boils over. The singerโs calm veneer cracks, his voice straining and hoarse as he lets the frustration spill out in visceral shouts before retreating back into his subdued tone.ย the same way sometimes we get overwhelmed to the point we have a momentary breakdown before going back to acting like everything is okay. He is representing the collective societal behavior under systematic oppression.
โAll the Timeโ by Our Bones embodies the psychological burnout of society. This is alt-rock therapy for a world on the brink. Check it out on Spotify.
