Honey Radar sound like a low-budget Clientele, all major-key arpeggios somewhere between psych and Felt.” Are you ready to go on a Psychic Cruise, this summer, Well strap in. Yet again, Honey Radar. What can you possibly say by now that’s not totally redundant at this point? Lo-fi master-class pop handyman rock sketches in the vein of Pavement or Syd Barrett.  “Psychic Cruise” is the third proper single that Chunklet has been fortunate enough to release by the Philly band. More splayed noise. More reverb. More racket. More hooks. Repeat. Five new jams. Never heard before. New Honey Radar will always be celebrated at Chunklet HQ. We’re told that next in the Honey Radar series will be a Fall tribute single featuring Chunklet’s Henry Owings. What will they be called? Henry Radar. Coming Fall ’18.

“Five tracks of shambolic Syd Barrett burial rites that exhume the shaggy spirit of clang-clobbered pop, echoplexed to perfection and smeared with enough hooks to keep ya diggin’ for the long haul.”

Not sure if it’s layered solo work or a group or what, but it’s great short pop spasms owing equal debts to early New Zealand’s South Island groups and Guided by Voices. Honey Radar sound like a low-budget Clientele, all major-key arpeggios somewhere between psych and Felt.

When issued with the challenge of cranking out a new single of “Nothing But The Jams,” Jason Henn (aka Honey Radar) certainly delivered. Chock full of hits and (possibly?) his best single to date, “Ignore The Bells” is the second in what is hopefully a long series of EPs for Chunklet Industries.

Honey Radar... was one of the more eccentric acts to play during the festival. The band harnessed the feedback and fuzz of their instruments for a cacophony of sounds, and the band’s two guitarists clashed their guitars together in a sword fight.”

As evidenced from their LP also from this year, Philadelphia’s Honey Radar seem to have piles of these killer lo-fi jams. A huge hit in my alternate universe. When issued with the challenge of cranking out a single of “nothing but the jams,” Jason Henn (aka Honey Radar) certainly delivered.

with two eps of intriguing garage rock, a cut above the rest of that scene as it exists today at least by my measure, perhaps a hold over from last decade’s weirdo garage punk heyday riding out the very last ripples in rather impressive fashion or just unboxing dusty decade old demos, woven into these short n sweet quirky damaged pop tunes channeling obvious favorites – with influences of the VELVETS and STOOGES and SYD BARRETT by way of FLYING SAUCER ATTACK and GUIDED BY VOICES and SIMPLY SAUCER – tough to differentiate between “JASON HENN” and “HONEY RADAR” – i suspect/expect there isn’t a band – in any case, this is probably the closest anyone will ever get to filling the SIC ALPS shaped hole in my heart
