New Bnny Single "Breaking Up" Out Now, On Tour in Europe and the UK
Today, Bnny, led by Jess Viscius alongside her twin sister Alexa Viscius return with a new single, “Breaking Up” ahead of a run of dates with Dehd in the UK/Europe as well as two headline shows in London & Paris beginning tonight. The track follows debut album ‘Everything’, which Pitchfork calls “a beautiful record from wall to wall… worth every year that went into it,”. "Yet another breakup song,” Viscius jokes. “A reflection of my past and present.”
We'd say it's an essential listen but you don't have to just take our word for it!
“With a smoky alto and languid delivery, Bnny’s Jess Viscius uses her cloud-vapor voice to bely the harrowing emotional content of her lyrics. Matching them with her band Bnny’s spare, country-tinged Americana makes for a compelling combination, as the group incorporates late-night haze and True Detective levels of noir cool into its arsenal.” - AV Club
“There’s a lot of beauty in Viscius’ coolly melodic psych rock, not least of all in how honestly she sketches the experience of plumbing such bewildering depths of loss.” - Bandcamp
“Fragile, tactile, tender… it’s a frequently gorgeous thing.” - DIY
“A deceptively bold debut that opts to do more with less, relying on polished rock minimalism and the raw emotion of Jess Viscius’ songwriting to land its knockout blows.” - Paste
“Bnny’s debut album contains multitudes.” - Uncut

Everything, the debut album from Chicago quartet Bnny, may as well be a field recording taken from the lone country of grief. Written in sessions that span several years by singer Jess Viscius as she processed the death of her partner, the album is a chronicle of love at its most complex and loss at its most persistent. In the same vein as Sky Blue Sky-era Wilco or the harrowing vulnerability of Tomberlin or Helena Deland, Viscius’ songwriting is evocative and intentional. A longstanding member of the Windy City music scene, the album was produced by Dehd’s Jason Balla, and the sparse arrangements pick apart complicated truths while feeling both timeless and transcendent. Everything is out on Fire Talk (Dehd, Deeper, Pure X, Mamalarky).
