Honeyuck – best thought

Hot on the heels of singles from the greats Naps/Yikes split we featured recently, Lavender Sounds, the single imprint of Viridian Sounds has released a single by another great Tallahassee band, Honeyuck.

If you are acquainted with the band already (we liked their album very tiny songs a lot), you’ll know that the single, ‘best thought, has all the hallmarks of a Honeyuck song. It’s a sweet indie pop song about having a crush and trying to summon the courage to act on it.

“And there’s something I want to ask you
but I don’t know how to
would it be weird if I gave you a kiss?
there is something telling me that it is
your hand I should be holding so
would it be weird if
I kissed you for the hell of it?”

The B-side is a cover of Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Just Like Honey’, a quiet rendition with simple synths and tambourine percussion, swapping the melodrama of the original for a gentle sadness, sounding like a murmured sing-along in a still room. Like all of Honeyuck’s music, it’s simply really nice.

You can get the ‘best thought’ on a name-your-price basis via the Lavender Sounds Bandcamp page.
