HONEYBLOOD - IN PLAIN SIGHT
(Marathon Artists) Release date: Friday, May 24th 2019 Bertus distributie
‘In Plain Sight’ sees Honeyblood’s Stina Tweeddale finally step forward and claim the mantle of her project as her sole vision. Three albums in, the project she birthed seven years ago finds its most steely-focus and ambitious form yet. Stina takes the solo reigns in collaboration with super-producer John Congleton (Angel Olsen, St Vincent) for her most definitive Honeyblood LP to date
'In Plain Sight' was recorded during Halloween season in 2018 with John Congleton [Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, St Vincent] in his LA studio. Congleton was a dream-come-true; a producer who she'd admired for making guitar-based music that didn't feel traditional. “You make a wish and then it's like: How the fuck did I manage to do that?” You can immediately hear Congleton's ability to realise Stina's wider vision this time. In the past, Honeyblood was tethered to a straight-laced, noise-orientated rock sound. Now freed of a guitar/drums format, Stina is able to invite flourishes of other styles. The dirgey doom of 'Take The Wheel’, the Depeche Mode moody synth-work of 'Touch' and the shuffling '90s groove of 'Twisting The Aces' have created the most diverse palette for her stories yet. Yet classic shouty grrl anthems like 'Gibberish' still impact with a familiar fury.
Previously signed to FatCat, the re-haul of Honeyblood has also seen Stina enter a brand new relationship with Marathon Artists (home to Courtney Barnett, POND and Jagwar Ma), a natural fit and the right home for this evolution.
