A.A. Bondy - Believers (album stream)

A. A. Bondy (born Auguste Arthur Bondy, also known as Scott Bondy) is an American folk/alternative artist from Birmingham, Alabama, and the former lead singer and guitarist in the rock band Verbena, which he founded in the early 1990s. After the band broke up in 2003, Bondy recorded his debut solo album American Hearts in a barn near his home in the Catskill mountains in Palenville, upstate New York. The album, released in 2007, marked a shift in musical direction towards a more traditional and minimalist folk sound, with Bondy playing mostly acoustic guitar and harmonica. His second album When the Devil's Loose was recorded in Mississippi, and released in September 2009. Bondy released his third album, Believers, on September 13, 2011.



Believers is the third album by folk artist A.A. Bondy, released September 13, 2011 on Fat Possum Records. The album was recorded at Mant/Kingsize Studios in Glassell Park, California in the spring of 2011 and produced by Rob Schnapf. Spin magazine gave Believers a score of 8/10, calling it an album of "deceptively austere alt folk...ludicrously gorgeous, vaporous, and reverb-caressed, like the hushed, almost unbearable intimacy of pre-fame Cat Power."
