Black Honey - Black Honey (2018)

Debut album by hotly tipped UK Alternative pop-rock band Black Honey. Limited edition blue vinyl pressing. What are they like? Put it this way: if Lana Del Rey was (in) a rock band, it would sound like Black Honey. "What," we note your reply (we have great hearing), "you mean like Lush?" Yes, Black Honey are quite Lush-ish. You might even say they're Lush-ous, only a bit classicist, less 4AD than Telstar. They blend, or rather create a burning pyre out of, girl-group pop and shoegazing guitar noise. They are fans equally of FX pedals and the lasting impact of a simple melody.
