The last time Sean Sullivan (aka Sean Bones) perked our ears up, his sound seemed to stem from a newly-founded reggae foundation. Since 2009’s “RINGS,” he’s followed up with “Rhumba Beat” and “Buzzards Boy.” And with Fool’s Gold’s Garrey Ray and Lewis Pesacov help on the most recent album, it’s not a surprise that his latest single “United” offers crisp, Caribbean-tinted percussion along with another bright melody. We’ve yet to know if there is a follow-up to “Buzzards Boy,” but it wouldn’t be a shame if it maintained a similar thread. A sound palette has never suited Sullivan’s upbeat alternative sensibility so well.
