British collective Honesty hail from Leeds and were started by George Mitchell, who fronted post-punk band Eagulls in the 2010s and the early days of the pandemic. The rest of the four-member core of the group is rounded out Matt Peel, Josh Lewis and Imi Marston but also includes contributions from Kosi Tydes, Softlizard, Rarelyalways, Dry Cleaning‘s Florence Shaw, and Liam Bailey.
Now signed to Partisan Records (which was also Eagulls’ label), Honesty will release their debut album, “U R Here“, in February 2025.
While there is a post-punk undercurrent to their music, HONESTY draw from a much bigger well of influences, including a variety of electronic/dance (trip-hop, IDM, techno, dubstep) and shoegaze. New single “Tormentor”its woozy sub-bass and breathy vocals by Marston. It’s not all chill, though, as it rips into cinematic technicolour for the chorus.
