Honne - Ouch (Transparent Red Vinyl) [Vinyl]

Over the past 10 years the UK alt-pop duo have reached incredible heights – since their initial humble recording sessions in East London they’ve notched up more than three billion streams and sold more than 200,000 tickets for headline shows around the world. It’s been a story of growth, maturity, and kinship. On their enchanting new album – the playfully titled OUCH – James Hatcher and Andy Clutterbuck are ready to tap back into their foundations, and realise the kind of melodic effervescence and heart-tugging songwriting that only HONNE can provide. In this radically ambitious independent era HONNE want to remove the gloss, and show the emotions underneath. The result is a record that is impeccably detailed and wonderfully entrancing, informed by profound shifts in their own lives. It follows a narrative that begins with a teenage crush and closes with the responsibility of family life. Touching on everything from early 90s hip-hop production to slick 21st century pop via torch songs and ballads, OUCH is testimony to the frenetic creativity only HONNE can conjure, having written, recorded and produced every single aspect of this project themselves.
