Babehoven originated out of Portland, Oregon in 2017 and is composed of Maya Bon and Ryan Albert. Their first single “Out of This Country ” dropped in 2018 and the band consistently released singles up until their first album. Babehoven’s first album “Nastavi, Calliope ” was released in 2021 and their latest “Sunk” was released on March 4th, 2022 with Double Double Whammy.
The album is an Indie/alternative consisting of 6 songs. The band is currently on tour and will be visiting locations ranging from California to New York. The songs “Fugazi” and “Get Better” are currently the most popular on the album. The music from “Sunk” is best explained as an existentialist’s dreamscape, it beautifully captures the emotions of the lyrics and embraces the listener. Bon’s voice and the instrumentals complement and build off of one another throughout the album and particularly in “Creature”.“Twenty Dried Chillies” is the bow that ties the gift that is this album together as it does an amazing job of representing the message of “Sunk”. The goal of the album is to reframe giving into the universal struggles of life as self-care rather than defeat. It’s a heavenly message, especially for those growing into themselves. Fans of Phoebe Bridgers, Peacock Affect, or The Cranberries will instantly vibe with this band.
I absolutely loved this album and will be adding it to my playlists to wallow. The album is available on Spotify, Pandora, Youtube, and Deezer. Be sure to check them out on Instagram @babehoven or on their website https://www.babehoven.com/.
