 "Wunderkind...Data Blockers, feels like the work of a vet well-versed in whispered catharsis. The plucky six-minute epic evokes a young Chan Marshall [Cat Power]." - SPIN

"Insanely talented" - WGN Radio
"...wise-beyond-her-years Bonzie (every journalist is going to say that, but it's true), and marvel at the intricacies of her songwriting and individual style." - Huffington Post
"Dark, but approachable music." - Magnet
"She [Bonzie] may be seventeen, but listening to her music you'd never know it; the instrumentation and lyrics are impeccably well done, and her upcoming debut album Rift Into The Secret Of Things (due out in August 2013) is definitely one to keep an eye out for this summer." - Brightest Young Things
Today, Bonzie<http://www.bonzie.net/> - the moniker for 17-year-old songstress and multi-instrumentalist Nina Ferraro - premieres her indie-rock track "Felix," which features the LA folk duo The Milk Carton Kids. The new tune is from Bonzie's upcoming debut album Rift Into The Secret Of Things (out independently on August 13th, 2013), which was co-produced by Ferraro with Will Golden and engineer Tom Biller (Elliott Smith, Fiona Apple).

"I wanted Felix to have a male harmony part, and I had a very specific kind of voice in mind," explains Nina. "My co-producer asked me, 'If you could have anyone you wanted to sing that part, who would it be?' My first response was Joey Ryan of The Milk Carton Kids.  Will told me that he actually knew Joey, and would call and ask him.  Joey agreed, and it was great singing with him.  His voice has a special distinctive quality to it.  Kenneth Pattengale, the other member of The Milk Carton Kids, plays lead guitar on the same song.   He brought such an exquisite mood to the song with his part.  They're cool guys.  It was a great experience collaborating with them."
By the age of nine Ferraro was completely devoted to making music, and performing at local cafes at the age of 12. She was inspired by such records as: PJ Harvey's Dry, Slint's Spiderland, Elliott Smith's Roman Candle, The Pixies' Surfer Rosa, Bright Eyes' Lifted, Jim O'Rourke's Eureka, Björk's Medúlla, and Daniel Johnston's Hi, How Are You. Fast forward to now and Bonzie has manifested into a songwriter that isn't traditional or confessional, but more of an observer and commentator. She is drawn to expressing her lyrics with the concerns of her generational cohort (the bond between independence and interdependence, not wanting to be manipulated, and view one's self beyond society) with unwavering honesty through her dark indie-rock sound that also incorporates some psychedelic and indie-pop elements.
The album's title is inspired by a passage in one of Ferraro's favorite books, Thoreau's Walden. "It's about how to get to the essence, to put aside intellect or logic in order to reach the truth, or whatever the essence of a thing is," says Nina.
