Throwback to Honeyslide's debut and reasons why it will never get old.
On our blog there's an unspoken "6 month rule" for posts. In other words, we typically try to steer clear of reviewing old releases. But just sometimes, we stumble upon something so good that we break that rule, and this is one of those times. Honeyslide debuted their first EP last July and it became somewhat of an instant classic in my library. Maybe it's the dreamy technicolored cover art, the shoegaze-filled static, or the 90s stoner rock backdrop that keeps me coming back over and over again. Regardless, this UK-based trio comprised of Josh, Meytal, and Mo know how to carefully craft noise that evokes pure aural euphoria within the span of four short songs. The band has cited My Bloody Valentine and Pavement as main influences, and their sound is spot on half-way between the two. Alternating fuzzy female and male vocals especially calls to mind the Kevin Shields and Belinda Butcher dynamic.
