In June, Why Bonnie — one of 2022’s Best New Bands — announced a new album called Wish On The Bone, which features already released singles “Dotted Line” and “Fake Out.” Today, Blair Howerton has shared another track, “Rhyme Or Reason,” and announced a headline tour.
As a press release outlines, “Rhyme Or Reason” is about “regenerating a sense of hope after the loss of Howerton’s brother, which happened just as she was beginning to come into her own as a songwriter.” As she worked through her grief, she “developed a new relationship to spirituality.” She adds: “‘Rhyme Or Reasonʼ is about coming to terms with the impermanence of life and how thatʼs scary but also really beautiful.”
