Bonneville are back as they look to unveil their latest single, 'Fools In The Game', a retro-soul enthused belter which crosses the floor between sixties rock n roll, and blues. Built around a steady, slow-burning rhythm, ‘Fools In The Game’ unfolds with warmth and restraint. Smooth baselines and soft string arrangements give the track its weight, while the vocal sits front and centre, carrying a sense of longing that never feels overstated.

Speaking about the single, Jeff Hayashi, the band's co-founder, explains, “It’s all about the game of love. We all play it. Sometimes you win, more often than not, you lose. You discard and draw again, but most of us never stop playing.” Adding, "It's a feel-good track with a touch of desperation lurking in the wings; something anyone who has felt the helpless force of being drawn to another in the early stages of courtship can relate to.”
