Honey and Salt have announced their upcoming self-titled full length, due out April 6th via Spartan Records. The band have also released “Simple Errors,” the album’s kinetic first single.
“Simple Errors” exemplifies Honey and Salt‘s ability to make highly intricate music into something incredibly accessible. The trio injects every moment of Honey and Salt with melody, deftly utilizing everything from Kinsella-esque guitar lines, to post-rock dynamics, to hardcore ferocity — all while packing an emotional resonance straight out of DC’s Revolution Summer.
Honey and Salt finds the band wrestling with the inescapable distress of today’s sociopolitical climate, and searching for the means to stay optimistic despite national or global issues that appear insurmountable. Throughout the album the band ask difficult questions about our humanity in times of despair, as they to resist the pull of complacency and instead turn to art for solace and inspiration.
