"Space Cubs", is singer/songwriter/producer from Buffalo, New York. Early on she, she pulled much influence from gospel and ambient music. During high school she started getting heavily into experimental and electronic music, which sparked a desire to start exploring that within her own musical journey. This continued throughout college, along with an all female electronic trio, "Chromakid", which consisted of Bonifacio, Tara Rook, and Kat Casale. She then came to form "Space Cubs" as an attempt to spend time exploring the nature of being alone with music. Her first EP, "Come Forth, Die Down", was released in 2013 and describes the ebb and flow of being raised in a religious atmosphere. Her first full length album, which was released in 2015, titled "The Fire And Things Forgotten", continues on this spiritual journey with a sort of triumph over the struggles within. Chris Daly of "Passion Of The Weiss" describes it as "Mood music for smoked out dungeons in the crackiest parts of your city." "Bonifacio's strong suit lays in her expressiveness, elegantly combining the spiritual and the romantic with melodies that seem to demonstrate that the journey of self knowledge is more than a matter of self. She isn't afraid of tapping into unnavigable territory, but similarly to earthy electronic artists such as Bjork and Boards of Canada, her music contains subtle glimpses of tranquility beneath the pretense of complete psychic distortion" (Jeannette Chin, Buffablog).
