Throughout the ten tracks in their new album Let There Be Music, you canhear the spaciousness Bonny Doon allowed themselves since their 2018sleeper cult-classic Longwave. Their latest musical journey is one that hasbig payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone juststumbling across the band for the first time. After extensively touring Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox andColombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatcheescritically acclaimed album Saint Cloud. The experience raised the ceiling onour imagination, Colombo said.

Soon after, Colombo and Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion tothe songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a timeof serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohns disease andBobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours ofdoctors appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also playing on Waxahatachees Saint Cloud tour.These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Musicfor several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as anachievement in perseverance for the band.

On their long-awaited third album, we get a glimpse into the pure joy of BonnyDoon. The album serves as less of one conceptual story, and each songas their own individual offerings of putting words to the ordinary experienceof being alive. The band is at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftlyexplores new terrain. Let There Be Music is brimming with small truths – bothprofound and mundane, comforting and difficult – and we are invited to revel inthem all.
