Babehoven is fronted by Philadelphia via Los Angeles (via Portland) songwriter Maya Bon. She uses her songwriting as a way to process the struggles of daily existence, of familial trauma, of the processes of letting go. Her music is lyrically driven, but held together by intentionally minimalistic chord progressions. By singing songs painful in subject, though simple in sound, Babehoven rides the line of comfort and strain, pleasure and pain, that is palpable to the listener.
