Wistful & Grave: “Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur

“Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur

Today, we pursue our musical exploration of the indie pop/rock genre and encounter Bonheur, a band from Stuttgart and Berlin. Their debut song, entitled “Another Dirtbag”, came out last Friday. “Another Dirtbag” deals with the negative emotions that life engenders and urges the listener to confront their frustration, self-doubt, or isolation and contemplate their repressed anger. 

The song challenges our performance-driven society and prompts us to examine our mental health. In the chorus, a despondent mood prevails, and a hummed melody communicates more than one initially perceives. It reflects a sort of flight from meaninglessness. At the end, one recognises that one is merely one of many who seek a scapegoat. 

Musically, Bonheur operates with “Another Dirtbag” in the realm of indie rock with subtle pop inflections. Drums and bass provide the basis on which the guitar harmonises with gentle synth sounds and produces a flawless ambience for the vocals. 

Superb indie material from Germany, one might say. A wistful song with a grave undertone. “Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur is an impressive debut!
