Though dabbling with music creation software since the days of Windows 98, the singer and producer now known as Bonnaventure James did not become the artist he is today until an assignment in avant-garde music composition reignited his interest in music production. Now, Bonnaventure James makes melancholic, bedroom-pop with the help of his trusty laptop and an assortment of synths, samplers and electronic noise makers. His new EP features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that reference pop-culture and modern relationships, laid over lo-fi beats constructed using an array of samples, plug-ins and shoddy equipment.

Bonnaventure James (Bonnaventure, or Bonnie to his friends) stole his name from a movie. We assure you it has nothing to do with the Lake or Drive in Calgary (where he now makes his home). Influences include Caribou, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Panda Bear, James Murphy, and other dudes who sing into microphones over electronic beats.
