Halloween Birthday by Bonniesongs

A typically finely crafted cut of lo-fi magic from the songwriter, ‘Halloween Birthday’ swells and swirls with a heady vocal refrain over her signature lurching drum work, with subtle string sections flourishing and billowing beneath gently plucked, stripped-back guitar layers.

Recorded with ARIA-nominated producer Tony Buchen, and mixed and mastered by David Trumpmanis, the new single comes accompanied by an official music video directed and shot by Nick Mckk.

Commenting on the track, Bonnie says: “Halloween Birthday is a nostalgic song that celebrates my obsession with all things Halloween with a yearning desire to have it all. Being from Ireland, where Halloween is taken very seriously, I’ve often been inspired by the spooky and supernatural. I’m interested in creating a sense of otherworldliness which is what
Halloween is all about! The lyrics are literally inspired by my childhood anxiety of getting to my friends’ birthday party, as well as trick or treating before all the good sweets were gone.”

Art-folk virtuoso Bonniesongs, aka Bonnie Stewart, released her debut album Energetic Mind in September 2019 via Small Pond and Art As Catharsis. While previously described as “dreamy experimental indie

folk”, Energetic Mind sees Bonniesongs exploring heavier and darker material while also retaining the charm of her earlier releases.
