HONEYHONEY REVEAL FIRST SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM, 3,
TO BE RELEASED ON JUNE 9
SPRING TOUR UNDERWAY
(March 26, 2015 – Los Angeles, CA) LA-based duo HONEYHONEY are giving fans a sneak peek at their first single, “You and I,” from their third full-length release, 3, due out June 9 on Rounder Records. Recorded in Nashville and produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson), delivers straight-from-the-gut honesty and elegance of storytelling that makes the new album both cathartic and electrifying. A full tour schedule was recently announced, including dates across the country with stops in Nashville, Los Angeles, Denver and New York, as well as a slot on this year’s Wakarusa Festival, with more dates still to be announced.
First Listen: “You and I”
The follow up to 2011’s Billy Jack (named one of the top albums of the year by American Songwriter), 3 finds lead singer/banjo player/violinist Suzanne Santo and vocalist/guitarist Ben Jaffe twisting their gritty, harmony-driven brand of Southern-flavored rock & roll through tales of lost souls, broken boys, and girls with gold in their spit. While the album finds HONEYHONEY offering their most finely crafted melodies and richly textured sound to date, the band also embodies a loose and scrappy energy drawn out with some help from Cobb. “Dave never let me obsess over my vocals,” says Santo, whose sultry but tender voice intensifies the intimacy of each track. “He’d just be like, ‘Nope, that was raw, we got it, we’re good.’” Adds Jaffe: “He didn’t really allow us to overthink anything, which is great for what we do - the more barriers you can remove to get to the soul of it, the better.”
Rolling Stone recently named the highly anticipated record one of “20 Reasons To Love This Year,” declaring that “the fierce, ball-busting attitude that steered the boy-girl twosome during their DIY days is still on full display.”
