The 5-track selection explores atmospheric folk rock & pop. The EP will be available worldwide on all streaming services.
Bill Bonnell isn’t a name often found in the music industry, but for those seeking authenticity, depth, and unfiltered emotional storytelling, he’s a revelation. Since 2009, this American singer-songwriter has built a discography that feels like an intimate diary, recorded with urgency and emotion as soon as the songs are written.

His style fuses folk and rock with an acoustic sensibility that harkens back to his small-town roots, and his voice—which oscillates between harsh and sweet—is capable of conveying
vulnerability and strength in the same sentence.
Included on his new EP, Silence, released on August 8, 2025, “Tuesday Nights at Toggenburg” represents a stylistic shift in Bonnell’s work. Unlike his previous productions, this song embraces an immersive, almost cinematic atmosphere, moving away from acoustic rawness to explore more ethereal textures.
Bonnell momentarily abandons his traditional approach to immerse himself in broader soundscapes. The production evokes a quiet mountain night, layered with soft synths, spatial reverberations, and instrumentation that seems to float. It’s a song that doesn’t impose itself, but rather glides.

Although the title refers to a specific place—Toggenburg, a small ski area in the bucolic part of central New York State—the song isn’t literal. It’s an evocation of past moments,
of encounters, of shared silences. Bonnell turns an ordinary night into a symbol of introspection and nostalgia.
His vocal performance is restrained, almost whispered, as if he doesn’t want to break the spell of memory. There’s a palpable melancholy, but also a peace that suggests
reconciliation with the past.
Bonnell writes from an honest, unpretentious place, and you can feel it. “Tuesday Nights at Toggenburg” is ideal for those who enjoy discovering songs that are unlike anything
else, that invite you to close your eyes and let yourself go.
If you’re drawn to artists like Nick Drake, Iron & Wine, or even the more introspective moments of Bon Iver, Bonnell could become one of your new favorites.
