Why Bonnie have unveiled a new single, ‘Three Big Moons’, which appears on their forthcoming LP “Wish on the Bone“. Following previous entries ‘Dotted Line’, ‘Fake Out’, and ‘Rhyme or Reason’, the track is “about how isolation can be equal parts comforting and lonely,” according to the band’s Blair Howerton. When Blair Howerton brought bandmates Chance Williams and Josh Malett together to work on Why Bonnie’s latest album.
Why Bonnie released their debut, “90 in November”, an album praised for its nostalgic depictions of wide-open spaces that earned comparisons to Waxahatchee and Wednesday. That album captured who Howerton felt like she was at the time – a twenty-something living in New York, yearning for the Texas of her adolescence through rose-colored glasses – but her self-conception is forever in flux. On “Wish on the Bone”, Why Bonnie is untethered from the particulars of landscape or genre, but a fixation on what it might look like to lead an authentic life grounds the record in place.
“Wish on the Bone” is set to arrive on August 30th via Fire Talk.
