Masked behind their mirror face coverings, Bonnacons of Doom have always been an interesting project to back. Their status has always been a high subject of discussion within the industry, as they continue to experiment with the values and testimonies of the meaning of ‘identity’ in today’s chronically digital world. Since forming in 2017, their hidden identities has forced listeners to fully immerse themselves in their music.
Signs is a highly-anticipated project that follows after their five-track 2018 album Bonnacons of Doom. Whilst their short-but-sweet self-titled debut marked the blueprint of what would later to come, Signs continues as an extension of themselves, it’s a full-fleshed body of work and a closer look into their creative vision.
Signs is the perfect project to sink into if you want to dissolve into a whimsical world of hypnotic vocals and intricately placed chord progressions. Throughout this project the group effectively make you feel like you’re sinking into the void. There’s a claustrophobic element to this album, but despite this, you still don’t want to find your way out. It’s a truly enticing release that grips you from the first few seconds. A really great follow-up to an already very stunning predecessor.
