Taken from the debut album ‘Honeyblood’ – the new single “Choker” has just been released.
Glaswegian noise pop duo Honeyblood consisting of Shona McVicar on drums and Stina Tweeddale vocals & guitar – take inspiration from dark and cloudy 1990’s indie rock luminaries like PJ Harvey and Throwing Muses.
We have been listening to Choker:
A choker is a strange ornament – fitted close to the neck, it reminds the wearer of constraints and repressions.
And that’s possibly why a red ribbon choker is the emblem most often associated with a procuress – whilst a plain black choker secretly signifies lesbianism.
On this considerably weighty track a grumbling low bass grinds – like a dwarf elephant that has been slid down a saw-tooth roof.
The main voice is tough – but well sculpted – it is bulkier and thicker-billed than you might expect.
The rhythm swings like a weighted anchor – and the drum drives along the tune – pumping away, provocatively, in the background.
