Bone China Releases Debut Song “Heaven Now”
London-based indie-rock duo Bone China, consisting of Luke Lovekin (vocals/guitar) and Ben Anthony (guitar), released their debut song “Heaven Now” on April 21, 2026 via Blitzcat Records.
The track was written shortly after moving to London, sparked by a disorientating encounter vocalist Luke Lovekin recalls.
It was recorded between Luke Lovekin's flat and a makeshift studio in Hackney across 2025.
Built initially from a skeletal demo brought in by guitarist Ben Anthony and recorded largely in first takes, the track leans into immediacy with vocals left unpolished and lyrics unfolding in real time.
The band lead singer Luke Lovekin said of the song, “It's based on an unusual encounter. This guy called Isaac ran across the road, walked and talked with me till I reached my street in Forest Hill; his final question being 'what's your relationship with God'. The song just fell out of me. I'd been in a prolonged period of solitude, I'd just moved to London and appreciated the organic encounter.”- He continued, “90% of the vocals are first take and the lyrics were written in a session of subconscious exfoliation while Ben put his instrumental in front of me. We tried polishing certain parts as I can be precious over the writing, but it just couldn't beat the delivery of the original.”
Consisting of Luke Lovekin (Stoke-on-Trent) and Ben Anthony (Hertfordshire), Bone China formed organically after the pair reconnected in London, having first met at university in Chester.
With their foundations rooted in 90s guitar music, and skate and surf culture feeding into the band's sense of nostalgia. -
