Honeyblood - No Big Deal
Bouncing back from changing drummers, Honeyblood continue to be prolific, matching quantity with quality.
Honeyblood’s tremendous debut was something noisy. Although not quite reaching the ear-splitting volume of their pre-LP releases, their self-titled album was at times, a furious, fast, jangly onslaught, in the best possible way, with big bastard choruses and sing-along melodies dotted across a scratchy, acerbic sound.
So it’s a bit of a surprise then, that their new track ‘No Big Deal’ takes more from the school of Pavement and Sleater-Kinney. A totally new guitar sound - a more trebley, reverby prospect - glistens on a melody that snakes into a far more unorthodox chord pattern than the Glasgow-based duo have previously utilised.
With a lyric that’s unerringly laconic, Stina Tweeddale showcases a vocal that’s slower and more transparent in feeling. “Can we slumber together” is sung in earnest, yet the writing - and the song title - displays total apathy. It’s an interesting contradiction, and Tweeddale seems to be growing as a songwriter, making the prospect of album two all the more alluring. This is a band that’s dealt with the stress of changing a vital component (new drummer Cat Myers makes an appearance here) and yet Honeyblood continue to be prolific, matching quantity with quality.
