Bonny Doon release “Let There Be Music,” the title-track is off their recently announced new album, out June 16th via ANTI- Records. Bonny Doon is Bill Lennox, Bobby Colombo and Jake Kmiecik. The trio has also announced a US summer tour in addition to their previously announced west coast run in May.

“We’re really attracted to simplicity. We’re always trying to reduce an idea to its essence, but this one was so simple that it felt like it was pushing that practice farther, which was exciting to us,” Bobby Colombo explains. “We’ve rarely had as much fun tracking a song, and I think that’s probably how it became the title track. It just felt like the energetic center.”

oAfter extensively touring their 2018 album Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox and Bobby Colombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatchee’s album Saint Cloud. “The experience raised the ceiling on our imagination,” Colombo said. Soon after, Colombo and Jake Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion to the songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a time of serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohn’s disease and Bobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours of doctors’ appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also Waxahatchee’s backing band on the Saint Cloud tour. These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Music for several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as an achievement in perseverance for the band.
