Why Bonnie Presents New Single, "Fast - Demo" | 'The Bedroom' EP Out Friday!
This Friday, Why Bonnie — the Texas-bred, NYC-based project of Blair Howerton — will 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. Today, Why Bonnie present 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.”
