180g Vinyl LP from LA-Based Duo!
Recorded in Nashville and produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson), the LA-based duo HoneyHoney's third full-length release "3" delivers straight-from-the-gut honesty and elegance of storytelling that makes the album both cathartic and electrifying.
The follow up to 2011s Billy Jack (named one of the top albums of the year by American Songwriter), "3" finds lead singer/banjo player/violinist Suzanne Santo and vocalist/guitarist Ben Jaffe twisting their gritty, harmony-driven brand of Southern-flavored rock & roll through tales of lost souls, broken boys, and girls with gold in their spit. While the album finds HoneyHoney offering their most finely crafted melodies and richly textured sound to date, the band also embodies a loose and scrappy energy drawn out with some help from Cobb. Dave never let me obsess over my vocals, says Santo, whose sultry but tender voice intensifies the intimacy of each track. Hed just be like, Nope, that was raw, we got it, were good. Adds Jaffe: He didnt really allow us to overthink anything, which is great for what we do the more barriers you can remove to get to the soul of it, the better.
Rolling Stone recently named the highly anticipated record one of 20 Reasons To Love This Year (2015), declaring that the fierce, ball-busting attitude that steered the boy-girl twosome during their DIY days is still on full display.
"The duo's songwriting on 3 is tighter. There are more hooks, but melodies and lyrics are really close to the bone, leaving room for experimentation and the depth of emotional resonance. Cobb pushes Honeyhoney just enough. He reveals the sophistication in the songs along with newer sounds and textures. But he also reined in any perfectionist tendencies that would distract from the intensity in their performances. As a result, 3 is a full step up both creatively and musically." -Thom Jurek, allmusic.com
