HALEY Bonar will perform at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on Monday, October 24, after releasing new album Impossible Dream.
The album is a follow-up to 2014’s Last War which enjoyed critical acclaim and featured in Rough Trade, NPR and Village Voice’s Albums of the Year lists.
Bonar was discovered at a local open mic club in Duluth, Minnesota, and immediately joined rock band Low on a US tour.
Impossible Dream blends scuzzy 80s indie, new wave angularity and Spector-ish reverb, and songs both relentlessly catchy and alluringly complex.
One critic said: “Hypnotic opener Hometown shimmers like a Twin Peaks' outtake, the shuddering, swirling Kismet Kill recalls Mazzy Star, while the soaring synth and pounding drums of Stupid Face summons the spirit and melody of Echo And The Bunnymen.”
