Doon Koontz

Best friends Andrew O'Donnell and Mark Taylor (the piglet whisperer) head off a canoeing adventure in Scotland. They travel along the River Forth and end up in Stirling, taking in some of Scotland’s wonderful wildlife along the way, including a meeting with an otter and some piglet-related drama.

Arriving in the early months of 2017, Bonny Doon’s self-titled debut was a warm introduction to the Detroit quartet for many. Hazy and bright, the album's woozy melodies and swirling webs of summery guitar textures were easily ingested as low-key slacker pop, blissfully awash in lo-fi sensibilities and dreamy ambiance. But the nonchalant breeziness belied a serious attention to songcraft that beckoned careful listening, and hinted at depths yet unexplored. Lo and behold, before the ink was even dry on the first record, work had already begun on its follow-up Longwave, a conscious about-face from the sonic experimentation of the first album, and a journey inward.
