You could be sick of shoegaze. I would not blame you. Right here at Stereogum, we most likely get emails about new shoegaze bands with baffling streaming numbers each single day, and plenty of of them instantly fade into the mists of my reminiscence. However that is not going to occur with Oklahoma Metropolis’s Mad Honey, who simply introduced their new LP Bridge Over Cumberland. They have two new songs, that are so dazed and gauzy and beautiful that I really feel compelled to inform you to provide them a shot.
Mad Honey are new to me, however they don’t seem to be new. (The band appears to don’t have anything to do with Mudhoney.) Mad Honey have been placing out music since 2018, and their swanky 2019 monitor “Blue & You” is a kind of songs that randomly went viral and racked up hundreds of thousands of streams. Their debut album Satellite tv for pc Aphrodite got here out in 2023. This spring, they will comply with it with a brand new one referred to as Bridge Over Cumberland, and so they’ve introduced it by sharing two tracks, “Reaching” and “Marie’s Track.”
“Reaching” is a comfortable and indifferent chug, however “Marie’s Track” is the one that actually satisfied me to submit this one. It is a comfortable, longing slowcore lullaby with some completely shattering vocals from bandleader Tuff Sutcliffe. (Nice title.) Beneath, try each songs and the Bridge Over Cumberland tracklist.
