Why Bonnie, has released new single/video “Three Big Moons,” a track off their forthcoming album, Wish on the Bone, available August 30th via Fire Talk. Set on a distant planet inspired, in part, by a sci-fi novel, the gorgeous and aching track is “about how isolation can be equal parts comforting and lonely,” Howerton explains. “They pinned a note to my collar/ It said ‘we couldn’t save her’/ And dropped down the American Flag/ Like it was a favor,” Howerton sings. When she mentions Houston, it’s not only to reference her childhood home, but also NASA. “Houston, we have a problem/ So many that I can’t, I just can’t solve them.”

Why Bonnie is the project of the New York-based artist Blair Howerton, will be touring behind the album, starting August 29th in Brooklyn, NY, other stops include Chicago, Toronto, and Montreal and more.

With Wish on the Bone, Howerton had no interest in adhering to genre standards. Howerton, Chance Williams, and Josh Malett fleshed out these songs with help from Jonathan Schenke, who co-produced alongside Howerton. Although Wish on the Bone is untethered from the particulars of landscape or genre, its fixation on what it might look like to lead an authentic life grounds the record in place. “I’ve changed since [90 in November], and I trust that I’ll probably continue to change,” Howerton says.
