He says ‘Stones, Bones and Skin’ is all about the “roots of humanity”. “It’s about going back to the roots of humanity,” Zwig said. “Music probably started with a mother singing to her baby. After that, people began banging on stones and bones and crafting drums from skins. I wanted to get back to the genesis of music with this collection.”
‘Stones, Bones and Skin’ will be released in August.
