Why Bonnie is a dreamy and experimental indie-pop group from Austin, Texas, made up of Tyler Gates and Maya Liquet. Erykah Badu, who is Tyler's stepmother, first noticed the young duo and supported them as their career began to take off. Their debut album 'Ice Cream Phantom' was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, praised as a mix of "calculated structures and dreamy sonics". The two offer up a unique blend of “distorted guitars, looped vocals, and wistful production”, forming modernized pop songs with elements of jazz, R&B, dance music, and folk. They have released several songs since 2018, and music videos featuring fantastical imagery. Their music has been featured on NPR, Paste Magazine, and other media outlets.
