Watch Honeyglaze offer up new track ‘Female Lead’

With their self-titled debut album set for release on 29th April via Speedy Wundergound, Honeyglaze are sharing another gem to get us excited for what’s to come.

Releasing new track ‘Female Lead’, the band’s Anouska Sokolow says, “I was overwhelmed by the state of the world during the first lockdown and constantly being surrounded by bad news. It was a time when people were playing with changing their appearance and I felt incapable of writing anything of any actual importance so I decided to write about something as completely arbitrary as dying my hair. I was inspired by the song ‘Leader of the Pack’ by the Shangri-las and the narrative heavy pop songs that were coming out of the Brill building during the 60s.”

“Given that the song itself is so narrative heavy, we knew we wanted to make something with its own separate story,” she adds about the accompanying vid. “It started off with some ideas about duality and stolen identity. I had recently watched Casablanca that’s where we got the idea of this movie character coming to life and we ended up writing a full scene for a made-up, 50s adventure romance. The rest was kind of influenced by films like Mullholland Drive and Purple Rose of Cairo.”
