Argentina’s Bonson Berner relocated from Buenos Aires to Los Angeles a couple of years ago and introduced themselves to U.S. audiences with the album “Passport,” an album of brooding, propulsive electro-rockers. Helmed by musician, photographer, painter and architect Lisandro “Pato” Aloi, a veteran of Argentine rockers Siga la Flecha, the band is finishing off its sophomore release “Reflection” (due March 10 via Forty Below Records). Here, Aloi, along with Diego Cuevas, producer Guillermo Porro and mixer Eric Corne, chases the ghosts of bands like Depeche Mode through the recesses of his new American experiences — which include, naturally, “Traveling.” The new song features Aloi’s resonant baritone, and the video stitches together scenes from the band’s exploits in Los Angeles and New York, along with the California desert. “Many of the songs were inspired in New York and L.A.,” he says, “so sharing footage I had of my travels in those cities felt representative. …  The mood of the song is really ‘en route,’ so the girls dancing freely in the city, together with travel takes from India and L.A. shared that sincerity we were after.”
