In Plain Sight

Three albums in, the project she birthed seven years ago finds its most steely-focus and ambitious form yet. Stina takes the solo reigns in collaboration with super-producer John Congleton (Angel Olsen, St Vincent) for her most definitive Honeyblood record to date. In the past, Honeyblood was tethered to a straight-laced, noise-orientated Rock sound. Now freed of a guitar/drums format, Stina is able to invite flourishes of other styles and make an Experimental Rock record. The dirgey doom of 'Take The Wheel', the Depeche Mode moody synth-work of 'Touch' and the shuffling '90s groove of 'Twisting The Aces' have created the most diverse palette for her stories yet. Yet classic shouty grrl anthems like 'Gibberish' still impact with a familiar fury.
