They're gonna buy you airplanes
This one's a little serene for a Monday morning, but what can you do? It might even help you ease into the week.
I could listen to Haley Bonar sing anything. It helps that her songs are usually well-crafted, and that the production is meticulous, but for me, it's all about the voice. It's light without being weak, airy without being empty. There are years in there, experiences you don't, and never will, know about.
Bonar is originally from South Dakota, and now she's based in St. Paul. Her two other records - The Size of Planets in 2003, and Lure the Fox in 2006 - are first-rate, and her new one, Big Star, is just as good. It comes out on June 10 from Afternoon Records. Pick it up!
