Why Bonnie Releases 'The Bedroom' EP !
Today, Why Bonnie — the Texas-bred, NYC-based project of Blair Howerton — release their new EP, The Bedroom, via Fire Talk Record. The Bedroom collects three newly-recorded acoustic reworks, including the previously-shared “Fake Out - Bedroom Version” and “Headlight Sun - Bedroom Version, which were written, played and recorded in Howerton’s Brooklyn bedroom. Earlier this week, Why Bonnie presented The Bedroom’s final advance single — and the lone new composition to appear on the EP’s tracklist — “Fast - Demo.” Anchored by melancholic acoustic guitar and Howerton’s evocative voice, “Fast (Demo)” offers a glimpse at Howerton’s intimate writing process. “Talked to my friend today, she told me that’s the way I should look at things,” Howerton confesses atop a bed of layered vocals, “My eyes are deceiving me.”
Of the single, Howerton adds: “I wrote this song over 5 years ago when I moved to New York. At that time, I was equal parts excited and terrified by my new life and was grappling with the rapid change. I’ve always loved this song and recording, but never found a place for it on an album. I’m glad it’s finally found a home on this EP with other recordings also made at home in my lonesome.”

Wish On The Bone' is Why Bonnie's sophomore LP and debut for Fire Talk. It's untethered from any landscape or genre, propelled by this freedom and resulting in Why Bonnie's most catchy, hopeful body of work to-date. Ranging from twangy country infused rock jams to more intimate and lo-fi arrangements, ‘Wish on the Bone’ is wide-eyed and waiting. It’s a coming of age film in which the protagonist rejects the forces that have tried, and failed, to shape her into something other than herself. It leaves you with a hard-fought sense of hope, which is among songwriter Blair Howerton’s greatest gifts. “You owe it to the people who are experiencing the worst to just keep pushing,” Howerton says. That’s the throughline of “Wish On The Bone”, a record that rewards with repeated listens.
