“Bonnie,” the latest track from Adelaide outfit Salibu Macey, has been a bit of a slow burner for me. I enjoyed it on the first listen, but for some reason didn’t write about it. I’ve listened to it countless times since, and every time I like it just a little bit more. So here I am, putting fingers to keyboard, to finally tell you all about it.
“Bonnie” is one of those great indie-rock songs that sneaks up on you. It doesn’t scream the loudest or rock the hardest, but there’s real charm about its restraint.
“The character Bonnie and her role in the story of this song is merely a metaphor for the feeling you get when you meet someone that truly believe you can’t live without them,” explained Salibu Macey’s frontman James Catford.
“It’s a jangly, melancholy tune that dissects that thought process and its fabrication, evolving into welcomed realisations and, in turn, a sense of coming out the other side with a clear and open mind.”
Are you digging this one, Sounds of Oz readers?
