about

The Moving Murals EP represents a collaboration between Jes Bonin, Kelly Sorbel, and Jes's longtime friend and high school buddy, producer Brandon Eggleston (Modest Mouse, Mountain Goats, Swans). The EP was recorded in Portland, Oregon, in the legendary Dandy Warhols' studio the Odditorium, over a long weekend. Sorbel anchored the recording with his versatile musicianship, contributing bass, drums, lead & second guitar, and an experimental edge in songwriting & composition.

These six songs reflect a personal breaking point. Ranging in topics from PTSD, depression, technological dystopia, addiction, cheating, gun violence, and OCD, the work is a catharsis, a public outcry, a protest. Made on the heels of a traumatic abortion, these songs are deeply intimate and autobiographical, representing a different kind of procreation and a movement through grief.
