On the chorus, Howerton wails against a building wall of sound that overtakes her by the song’s end: “It’s not my face/ I imitate”. The revelation has clouded Howerton’s mind in the two years since Why Bonnie released their debut, '90 in November', an album praised for its nostalgic depictions of wide-open spaces that earned comparisons to Waxahatchee and Wednesday. **About Shannen Moser** Despite spending most of the last decade living, working, and nurturing their craft in the city of Philadelphia, Shannen Moser’s sound remains rooted in their upbringing in rural Pennsylvania. Tributes to the pastoral hillsides of Berks County echo through their music, evoking images of learning to sing along to Townes Van Zandt in the passenger seat of their dad’s pickup or along with the Sacred Harp choirs in Quaker meeting halls. In 2014 Moser packed up their roots, along with influences from freak-folk artists like Joanna Newsom and early Animal Collective and moved to Philadelphia to focus on recording and performing. Those privy to these performances and recordings quickly became captivated by a sound that was both haunting and infectious, showing promises of songwriting genius and a powerful voice.
