Stockholm based Honeymilk release “Sanguine Skies” today, their new 4 track EP that’s already drawing praise and saw Alan McGee, legendary Creation Records founder, showing up at one of the dates on their recent UK tour.
With singles like ‘A Scene In Between’ and ‘Let’s Talk About Compassion’ it’s easy to see why as they artfully blend mid-2000s indie pop with a more retro 90’s sound owing much to The Happy Mondays, with an American tinge that hints towards the psychedelic rock of Dandy Warhols. The fuzzed-up bassline opening of ‘…Compassion’ should be enough to shake all but the stubbornest of derrieres from their chairs – is that a hint of Franz Ferdinand disco indie creeping through too?
Leave it to the Scandinavians to charm their way into our hearts with a reinvention of a very British sound.
