July 27, 2025 | EP Review | Start-Track
Start-Track's Filip praised Billy Bonbon's self-titled EP, singling out the track "Billy Bonbon" as his favorite and describing it with the evocative comparison: "It's like Slowdive and Surf Curse had a child."
"Raw and Nostalgic... Like Flipping Through an Old Photo Album"
In his enthusiastic review, Filip expressed falling in love with the track almost instantly, describing it as "raw and nostalgic, the kind of track that feels like flipping through an old photo album: hazy, youthful, and just a little bit sad in the best way."
The review captures the essence of Billy Bonbon's dream garage pop aesthetic—that delicate balance between shoegaze haziness and indie rock energy that has drawn comparisons to acts like Beach Fossils, Joy Again, and Surf Curse throughout the band's career.
The self-titled EP showcases Billy Bonbon's evolution as a Paris-based project, blending lo-fi production with emotionally resonant songwriting that transports listeners to moments both melancholic and beautiful.
