Announcing their third album in July 2020, the band promised a series of single every month until the release of Ginger Gold (Farm Singles)’ through Bonsai Records.
Coming hot off the release of their sophomore album Bees (January 2020), Bones and Jones have moved away from what they describe as their humble beginnings as a 60’s rock inspired group. While maintaining their knack for writing catchy pop tunes, the band have steered themselves towards a more mature sound; a brilliant integration of pop and rock that is uniquely their own. Bones and Jones have a sense of multi-genre fluidity which allows their reach to span across diverse audiences of old and new music lovers.

While the world was at a standstill, Bones and Jones were hard at work.
Amongst the chaos that was 2020, a few precious tracks from Geelong six-piece Bones and Jones’ latest album,
Ginger Gold (Farm Singles), were slowly drip-fed to us, with their nostalgic brand of playful, ’60s infused pop-rock brightening up days which were sepia-toned at best.
After the woozy tones of ‘Today’ and ‘It’s Time’ hit the metaphorical shelves last July, followed by ‘Reckless’ and ‘Broken Swings & Roundabouts’, the full album is finally out in all its glory.
