HONESTY will launch debut album ‘U R HERE’ on February seventh.
The Leeds band refused to be pigeon-holed, working in spheres as disparate as shoegaze and post-punk, minimal electronics and surging UK bass. Snapped up by Partisan Data, their debut album lands early subsequent yr.
Out on February seventh, ‘U R HERE’ encompasses an enormous vary of reference factors, with HONESTY commenting…
“This album grew to become an natural collaborative effort at sounding like passing the aux cable round at an afterparty. Being impressed by such a variety of music from shoegaze, to UK bass, all of us determined to by no means let ourselves get boxed in by one style. We needed the listener to really feel like they’re free to roam by means of our very personal map of soundscapes, but the entire time clearly labelling a ‘U R HERE’ pinpoint.”
Stripped from the album, new single ‘MEASURE ME’ is fascinating – opaque electronics interwoven round indirect indie features, it feels each deftly experimental and brazenly melodic.
That includes Softlizard on vocals, the video for ‘MEASURE ME’ was crafted by *UNCANNY.
‘Measure Me’ was one of many first songs we accomplished in a collaborative effort with Liza bringing lyrics and synth-work to the combination. The track stored a few of our submit punk skills from our earlier bands while pushing it sonically into what we now know as HONESTY.
Lyrically, Liza got here within the studio and advised us that she had a bizarre dream / nightmare the place she was seeing herself weighing her personal mind to work out the way it measures. A kind of existential dream of panic that flows throughout the beat in motoric measurements.
Tune in now.
