Bonjah – Beautiful Wild

Bonjah – Beautiful Wild

Melbourne-based outfit Bonjah’s third album Beautiful Wild started making an impact months ago, via the 2013 singles Evolution and Blue Tone Black Heart.

This song cycle includes both those tracks and nine other cuts, all of which amply demonstrate why Bonjah is one of Australia’s premier blues and roots outfits.

An album of stomping pace and catchy hooks, the record is pervaded by an organic, down-home feel. Highlights include the shimmering opening track Bullet In The Barrell, the swaggering rocker Honey, and the title track – a piercing ballad with poignant vocals from lead singer Glen Mossop and guest vocalist Ella Hooper.
