HONEYMOAN

Cape Town, South Africa’s HONEYMOAN started as a ‘just for fun’ jam session with various members of local alternative bands. What was originally conceived of as a dream pop project, swiftly turned into something a little more interesting. Since then the group developed a highly accessible sound with a wide span of influences such as Drake, Alvvays, 100 Gecs, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tame Impala.

As HONEYMOAN prepare to release their first ever full length album it’s clear to see a progression of sound since their initial releases. Each song providing a unique tour of the diverse HONEYMOAN sonic universe. A phrase that gets thrown around the studio “there is no such thing as genre, there is only BPM” which nicely encapsulates the headspace of the band whilst writing this record.

The album boasts twelve diverse tracks that take you on a journey from melodic, soulful pop palettes to harsh synth walls of sound, massive drops and infectious, hard pop hooks that will keep you hovering over repeat. 

Some of the themes explored in this album include: the breakup with a former partner, rebound experiences, reflections on childhood perception, the challenges of having to reframe oneself in the face of a radically changed environment and the risks of relying too heavily on external elements for your identity and happiness. 

HONEYMOAN show no signs of slowing as they ambitiously plunge headfirst into writing and producing many more memorable and unique songs that not only have immediate ear-worm quality but the longevity that keeps their growing fan base coming back for more. The band’s relatively organic rise to popularity is testament to the quality of their work.
