Matt Simmons of Melbourne guitar pop act The Suits returns with a new project: The Barebones.

We check in on the new act – which shares Suits members – and Matt explains the break where he created the new sounds, how he assembled the band, songwriting strike-rates, distilling that sweet retro sound, songs about modern sexual mores, and the rest.
