All Set The Bone (Dinked Edition #428)

Critically acclaimed US musician Greg Freeman returns with his third album, All Set The Bone. Freeman was barely done making his breakthrough album, Burnover, which was released to wide acclaim and landed in The New York Times Best Albums of 2025 list and received the coveted ‘Best New Album’ distinction from Pitchfork, when he started writing its successor. 

On All Set The Bone, he embraces friction instead of refusing it, using scant rehearsal times and urgent, self-appointed deadlines to fill his third album with ambitious whims: smile-stretching guitar scorchers, cosmic percussive surges, near-baroque piano riffs, psych-rock noodles, brass cutouts, and enough key changes to build an unsolvable musical maze. 

All Set The Bone was finished quickly, in a real Hollywood studio with one of rock’s best modern architects, John Congleton, and with minimal separation between idea and outcome. 

For Freeman, uncertainty has become his wealthiest currency. “It should never feel comfortable,” he says. “Every album should scare you.”
