Heart Bones

A collaboration between Sabrina Ellis (A Giant Dog) and Sean Tillmann (Har Mar Superstar), Heart Bones’ retrofuturistic synth pop borrows colorful elements from the likes of ’60s girl groups, disco, psychedelic pop, and ’80s new wave while devising something all their own. They debuted with the full-length Hot Dish in 2020.
Before forming Heart Bones, Minnesota-based Sean Tillmann was the force behind such acts as Calvin Krime, Sean Na-Na, and quirky indie soulster Har Mar Superstar. Down South in Austin, Texas, Sabrina Ellis was already known for bands such as Sweet Spirit and indie rock outfit A Giant Dog. Working long-distance, they teamed up for Heart Bones in 2018. Featuring mixing by John Congleton (Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen), their first album, Hot Dish, arrived on Love Online Records in early 2020. ~ Marcy Donelson
