Ho­ney­gla­ze

In an interview several years ago, Honeyglaze stated that they wanted to make their studio debut with something quite the opposite of a concept album. They wanted to try out different approaches to songwriting, go with the flow, and combine ideas that would otherwise have been discarded – and they succeeded in doing all of this on their first album, Honeyglaze (2022). With playful ease, the London trio brings sound sketches from early broadcast’s Haha Sound (2003) into the present and relates them to contemporary jangle guitars and post-punk touches that can elegantly dissolve into a certain pop appeal. Yup. Last year, their second album, Real Deal (2024), lived up to its name on all levels, adding shimmering distortions with spoken-word passages full of alienation and creative percussion. So, why not place this atmospheric post-indie alongside Midwest emo and the omnipotent math pop of the pulsating Windmill Scene when such beautiful, true, good songs come out of it? How they present this unmistakable sound to an audience is one of many exciting questions that we will provide the answers to.
