Listen: Black Honey - "Sleep Forever" (Demo)
With a band like Black Honey, a Brighton-based outfit of which very little information is currently available, it’s easy to draw comparisons to other artists risking to constrain their own identity.
“Sleep Forever” is a taster of a sickly sweet dark vision the band wants to offer the public. It’s a world charmed by all things Americana, with the track’s artwork depicting imagery that could easily sit in a 50s product catalogue or in a Lynchian sitting room. Mellowed out by surf rock guitars and phantasmic chimes, the track is grittily sparse yet full in sound.
The female vocals, which we are sure will be compared to a certain “gangsta Nancy Sinatra”, sound naively tempting, and with lyrics like “wish I could sleep forever with you”, make the prospect of sleeping six feet under quite appealing.
“Sleep Forever” is out now via Duly Noted Records.
