Honey Lung have released their first new music since their recent EP “Post Modern Motorcade Music”. The Sweet and slow, ‘Room’ was the first peep from the foursome since May this year. Drawn out and emotional, ‘Room’ is a total Melon Collie era Smashing Pumpkins ode. Feedback heavy and imbued with a guitar-orchestrated sparkle, it’s a lush personal piece that’s pretty ideal for the autumn to winter transition. “’Room’ is quite an intimate, personal song that details a time in my life” frontman Jamie Batten said. “We shot a music video for the track with a friend of ours out in Berlin. The video is essentially me being edgy af for 4 minutes.”

Now the London four-piece Honey Lung have shared a new single “Oh So Real,” out now via Big Scary Monsters. It’s the follow-up to their previous track “Room,” and it also follows last year’s EP Post Modern Motorcade Music. A version of “Oh So Real” originally appeared on a vinyl-only demos and singles collection, “Memory”, which was released by Kanine Records in 2019. “Oh So Real” has both the chunky grit and gentle-hearted nature of Silversun Pickups, with gnarly, rumbling guitars acting as a segue to their sentimental chorus. Their hook-driven guitar noodling is as sharp as ever, and they even delve into a steamy Black Sabbath-esque breakdown before returning to their heartwarming selves.

For the past few years, London four-piece Honey Lung have quietly been making some of the most satisfyingly melodic guitar music available. The band recently signed to Big Scary Monsters (American Football, Beach Slang) for the release of a forthcoming EP, the follow-up to their singles and demos collection, Memory, which landed on the list of best EPs of 2019. There’s something vaguely classic and deeply meaningful about their lo-fi rock songs. File Honey Lung under heartfelt, yearning lyrics and eccentric, dynamic instrumentals.

Led by singer/guitarist/songwriter Jamie Batten, Honey Lung’s sound pulls from ’90s indie rock, alt-rock and shoegaze and puts equal emphasis on melody and hooks and wild guitar squalls. Honey Lung released their debut album, Memory, via Kanine Records last year and recently returned with new single “Nothing”:
