Facts Vinyl LP pressing. Produced by Drew Vandenburg (Of Montreal, Futurebirds, Deerhunter). First signing on Tyler Childers' Hickman Holler Records. With a true brotherhood that comes from growing up together, indie rock band Ona merge all their musical history for their second album, Full Moon, Heavy Light. The band shares it's name with a small town just outside of their home base of Huntington, West Virginia. All five band members of Ona were raised in the area, with a couple of guys knowing each other since grade school. By tapping into their own social circles, the current line-up took hold in 2016: Brad Goodall (keys), Bradley Jenkins (vocals/guitar), Zach Johnston (bass), Max Nolte (drums), and Zack Owens (guitar). The band agreed on their name after Jenkins happened to wear an Ona Little League ball cap to rehearsal. Recorded at various intervals over the course of 18 months, Ona unique has their sound stands apart from the country and bluegrass heritage that the West Viriginian state is known for. Explained in part by Nolte "I grew up in the woods, but my dad only listened to glam rock, so sometimes it's hard for me to identify with the quintessential West Virginia image,"
