You can\u2019t escape your past or the skin you\u2019re born into. Blair Howerton of Austin, TX bedroom pop outfit Why Bonnie<\/a>\u00a0delivers this harsh reality in an unexpectedly uplifting package on “Made of Paper,” the latest single from the band’s\u00a0upcoming debut EP In Water.<\/em>\u00a0It\u2019s a bright, catchy earworm that warmly illustrates personal, intimate scenes from Howerton\u2019s every day life, from her messy kitchen filled with dirty spoons to a cozy fireside reading spot. These wistful scenes might seem inviting, but they’re also ultimately isolating; when Howerton laments “You don’t know all the songs that I’ve sung,” it feels like a plea meant to draw someone closer who still hovers at a distance. The song’s swirling lead guitar lines and bouncy rhythm section seem like a good excuse to get to know Why Bonnie much better.\u00a0In Water <\/em>is due to be released February 16th\u00a0via\u00a0Sports Day Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n
