Drucker Opens a New Chapter with Reflective Single “Get Out of My Bones”

Montreal singer-songwriter Drucker returns with “Get Out of My Bones”, a haunting and intimate track that wrestles with the tension between memory and moving forward. The single isn’t just a standalone release — it’s the first fragment of a six-song short film told out of order, each chapter unlocking a new part of a larger narrative. With stripped-back sonics, raw storytelling, and a cinematic vision, Drucker is shaping a project that feels less like a traditional album and more like a film unfolding through music.

Ahead of his headline London show at Theatreship on November 7th, we caught up with Drucker to talk about fragmented storytelling, memory as inspiration, and why rawness sometimes speaks louder than polish.

“Get Out of My Bones” is the first chapter in a six-song short film told out of order. Why go with that fragmented, cinematic approach instead of a linear one?

Drucker: I wanted the project to feel more like a film than a record, and films don’t always move in a straight line. Memory isn’t linear either — it comes in flashes, it loops back on itself. Telling the story out of order lets me lean into that feeling. Each song is a different scene, and you only get the full picture once you’ve sat with all of them.

You’ve said the song is about “what stays with you, even when you’re trying to move on.” What personal experiences fed into that idea?

Drucker: It came from that weird mix of trying to move forward but still carrying someone or something with you. Even if you’re past a situation, parts of it cling to you — the way a memory can still catch you off guard. It’s less about one specific moment in my life and more about that universal feeling of being haunted by something you thought you left behind.

The video was shot in just two days with a skeleton crew in a Montreal house. How did that stripped-back approach shape the atmosphere of the final piece?

Drucker: The limitations were actually the best part. We had no choice but to keep it simple — one location, a tiny team. This made the whole thing feel rougher, but also very honest, like you’re peeking into a private moment instead of watching a polished music video. I think the rawness made it stronger.

You’re bringing this project to life on stage at Theatreship in London. How will the live show reflect the cinematic storytelling of the songs and videos?

Drucker: The live show is designed to feel like the final piece of the puzzle. Each song and video on its own is a fragment of a bigger story, and the concert is where those fragments finally come together into a complete arc. I want the audience to experience the same unfolding journey as the character in the project — starting in pieces, then gradually weaving into something whole. It’s less about a setlist of individual tracks and more about stepping into the full narrative.

Your earlier tracks like “Defunct Baseball Team” and “Nirvana” found strong editorial and radio support. How does “Get Out of My Bones” mark an evolution from those songs?

Drucker: Those earlier songs were me figuring out my voice. With “Get Out of My Bones,” I feel like I’ve found a clearer direction. It’s more stripped back but also more ambitious in terms of storytelling. Instead of just writing songs, I’m building a world — and this track is the first real step into that.
