(2015) Honeyhoney - 3



Review: 
Recorded in Nashville and produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson), the LA-based duo HoneyHoney‘s third full-length release 3 delivers straight-from-the-gut honesty and elegance of storytelling that makes the album both cathartic and electrifying. 
The follow up to 2011’s Billy Jack (named one of the top albums of the year by American Songwriter), “3” finds lead singer/banjo player/violinist Suzanne Santo and vocalist/guitarist Ben Jaffe twisting their gritty, harmony-driven brand of Southern-flavored rock & roll through tales of lost souls, broken boys, and girls with gold in their spit. While the album finds HoneyHoney offering their most finely crafted melodies and richly textured sound to date, the band also embodies a loose and scrappy energy drawn out with some help from Cobb. “Dave never let me obsess over my vocals,” says Santo, whose sultry but tender voice intensifies the intimacy of each track. “He’d just be like, ‘Nope, that was raw, we got it, we’re good.’” Adds Jaffe: “He didn’t really allow us to overthink anything, which is great for what we do – the more barriers you can remove to get to the soul of it, the better.”
