BONIFACE Announces Self-Titled Debut Album

Embracing love in all its forms, Boniface delivers a melodic bliss with his life-affirming new single Keeping Up.

Boniface 2019

Canadian solo artist Boniface aka Micah Visser has shared details of his self-titled debut album, set to arrive on 14th February 2020.

Speaking of the new record, Boniface explains:

It is a collection of stories about coming of age in a small town. An intimate series of vignettes from my youth that only came to be through collaboration with a handful of the kindest, most talented people I’ve ever met. 

Another glimpse into his universe comes in the form of a wonderfully crafted new single, Keeping Up. With cinematic synths and booming instrumentals blending seamlessly, it crescendoes into an abundant track of limitless sonic possibilities. Cementing Boniface’s prolific songwriting, the song once again hints at introspective elements of his music, reminding us about the bittersweetness, the beauty and the tragedy of youth.

Revealing more about the new track, Boniface adds in:

In high school I met some friends that changed me forever. They all thought different, acted different than anyone I’d met, but everything about them seemed so right and so safe to me. I was a weird music nerd and they played music in basements and after a few nights getting wasted together there was a deep, platonic love between us.

But love is complicated, and when you get close to people you start seeing the bad along with the good. You see the bad in yourself, the baggage you’re carrying and you realise everyone else has it too. You realise that no matter how hard you try, you’re going to make mistakes.

‘Keeping Up’ is about that realization. The first deep connections you make. The beauty and the tragedy of it all.

Boniface will be released 14th February 2020 via Transgressive.
