Why Bonnie - "Voice Box"

Photo by Pooneh Ghana

Austin's Why Bonnie create some of the most lush and hypnotic dream pop around. Their latest single, "Voice Box," drones on in the best possible way with fuzzy, swirling guitars. What truly makes "Voice Box" stand out among the dream pop revival going on right now is Singer Blair Howerton's voice. I'm not sure if her voice would stand out in another genre of music, but it's perfectly suited to Why Bonnie's style. In fact, her vocals blend with the music in a way that just adds to the hypnotic aspects of "Voice Box." Did the song last a few minutes? Maybe half an hour? That's how sucked into the song you can get, that you just lose sense of time while it's playing. But you'll know you need more.

You can watch the video for "Voice Box" below. Why Bonnie's new EP, also called Voice Box, will be out April 10 on Fat Possum. You can pre-order a copy here. For more on Why Bonnie, check out their Facebook and Twitter. Current tour dates are below the video.
