Like many musicians residing in Los Angeles, Emily Cook and David Klotz, of Fonda, have day jobs…in the entertainment industry. Cook spends her days writing screenplays (“Ratatouille” “Gnomeo and Juliet”) and Klotz is the music editor for a little television show you may have heard of—“Glee.” On top of working time consuming gigs, the couple recently had a son, Henry, and officially put their dream pop music project on the backburner. The duo admits that the bulk of the recording process for its latest (first in eight years) EP, Better Days, was based around Henry’s nap schedule. Lucky for the new parents, this record was not their first go around. Cook and Klotz have been making music together for nearly 17 years, and in that time have released three successful LPs, showcasing a knack for meshing 1960s-styled indie pop with 1990s shoegaze (think My Bloody Valentine). This latest release comprises six tracks that fit the standard Fonda sound—wispy male/female harmonies floating effortlessly over a wall of reverbed guitars and synth. The twosome released the EP back in June, which indie pop label Minty Fresh quickly snatched up. Look for an extended re-release on November 22nd. – Katrina Nattress
