Bonnacons Of Doom by Will Shields
Catch Bonnacons Of Doom touring the UK with Pigsx7 next month.
Bonnacons Of Doom will release Signs – their second album for Rocket Recordings – on October 27th, and have shared its storming new single Facing.
“The past five years has really accelerated a sense of confusion,” the band’s Rob Strachan said. “I think we’re in a period of post-digital decay and in a sense the album is naturally a response to that.
I think everyone feels out of control and we’re all trying to make sense of a period where it feels like everything is falling apart. So I think culturally and politically there’s a tendency to look for emergent signs to explain things that are essentially chaotic. Pattern recognition is a key part of being a human so we all look for signs even if their interpretations are misaligned or totally out there.
“There was definitely a conscious decision to address the real world more explicitly on this record,” Kate Smith added.
“It’s much more lyric based than the first album but still trying to channel something otherworldly or spiritual. The idea of signs works as a multiple metaphor across the album. Signs related to differing aspects of being human.”
