The laidback music of Bonny Doon sounds like the up-beat cousin of Sparklehorse. On their latest album “Let There Be Music”, the members of Bonny Doon put their folk tendencies on the background, putting an emphasis instead on more ram-shackle pop. The result sounds like it was made on a few sunny, carefree afternoons. Bonny Doon is recommended to fans of Smog, Bill Callahan, Silver Jews, Pavement and Kevin Morby.
The members of Bonny Doon live all over the States, yet still find a way to come together for their excellent summer music. In the past year, they toured with acts like Band of Horses, Waxahatchee and Snail Mail.
“Detroit’s Bonny Doon recline deep in the kind of alternative folk music that gives off its own warmth wise enough to sit back with some guitars and watch the world crumble” – Pitchfork
