Honeyblood bring the heat in their sophomore LP
The best indie album I’ve listened to this month comes from Glaswegian indie-pop trio Honeyblood. Called Babes Never Die, it's a great progression from their eponymous 2014 debut, taking the band from bitterness, albeit very listenable bitterness, through to strength and empowerment. Their debut was full of youthful ire in the most genuine and vulnerable way, keeping it emotionally powerful despite its wrathful lyricism. Babes Never Die has the same spirit, with a more knowing, confident edge, both lyrically and musically.
‘Sea Hearts’, one of the LP’s lead singles, is powerpop grunge with a Hayley Williams snarl. The hell hath no fury theme continues from the first album here - ‘we’ll break hearts that get in our way’. Perhaps even more impressive is ‘Ready for the Magic’, which rocks a video of Honeyblood being burnt at the stake by a tribe of feral little girls.
