I got so happy! In fact, I only wanted to check out which songs Like Honey had posted on their Myspace page when I got to see the fantastic news.
I heard Like Honey for the first time on one of this year's last January nights when they played at Mejeriet. Ironically, I was sitting at home in front of the computer instead of being at their show. I had just fallen in love with the song Airport. The things you do not know about can not hurt you, until you find out the next day.
Melodies and vocals mean the most to me when I listen to music. Combine a fantastic voice with the right feeling in each word and you get a pretty good description of Like Honey's singer Johanna Cromnow. Her vocals interact with instruments which find the perfect balance between jangle and noise. Sandra Svensson deserves a special mention thanks to her weird and wonderful synth sounds.
New York in this version is an early demo from Like Honey's new album which is released when it is completed. If you want to hear more new songs you will have to go to their shows. See you on September 3rd at Emma's house at Mejeriet!
Like Honey - For A Reason
Like Honey - Airport
Like Honey's debut EP So Silent is available for free download on their website. Myspace is worth a visit to hear the track Sad Song.
