The LA-based duo HoneyHoney are giving fans a sneak peek at their first single, “You and I,” from their third full-length release, III, due out June 9 on Rounder Records. The project is was recorded in Nashville and produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). According to the press release:
“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.”
Rolling Stone recently named the highly anticipated record one of “20 Reasons To Love This Year,” declaring that “the fierce, ball-busting attitude that steered the boy-girl twosome during their DIY days is still on full display.”
