“Whether you’re aware of that or not, their chemistry hits you immediately.
BONJAH’S live shows are a testament to their work ethic. Now, their currency is rising fast.”
Cameron Sundblom – Beat Magazine
Melbourne band BONJAH are proud to announce that their third independent and most diverse album Beautiful Wild will be released via Inertia on April 18, 2014.
Recorded in only 10 days in the bands adopted hometown of Melbourne with producer Jan Skubiszewski (Way Of The Eagle, J.B.T, Cat Empire), the album is a collection of 11 songs that see the band taking a new creative path. The final finishing touches put on by mastering legend Steve Smart (Jezabels, Empire Of The Sun) at Studios 301, Sydney.
Beautiful Wild is a heavily hook-laden album that weaves its way from track to track highlighting, warm guitar tones and the rock n roll swagger of lead singer Glenn Mossop’s unique and captivating vocals. Written across 18 months, the album borrows largely from the theme of the ever-elusive subject of love – the highs, the lows and everything in between.
The albums title track, features the backing vocals of much loved Australian vocalist Ella Hooper, who helps deliver the most intimate and heartfelt moment on the record. The 2013, released singles ‘Evolution’ and ‘Blue Tone Black Heart’, both demonstrate the bands organic growth in sounds and musical direction, while ‘Other Side’ and the third single lifted from the album ‘Honey’ showcases blues driven guitar solos and their catchy songwriting capabilities.
‘Honey’ was premiered on triple j’s Home & Hosed the same evening that the band hand delivered the new album to the station. The track is proving to be very popular with presenters across the station, who have been spinning it constantly since, helping it gain an all important add to this weeks triple j playlist.
