New Year, New Lockdown, New Single.“Believer” is coming out soon, We are so excited to share our new song and video with you all! We filmed the video back in the summer of 2019 and have been wanting to show you for aaaages! Black Honey have released their first offering of 2021, new single, ‘Believer’.
‘Believer’, taken from the Brighton-based band’s upcoming second album ‘Written and Directed’, set for release on March 19th, follows the previous ‘I Like The Way You Die’, and is a foot-stomping, cathartic outing. “’Believer’ is a song to accompany your existential crisis,” she explains. “I wanted a religious satire that was eye rolling at all the patriarchal nonsense of spiritual sense of self. I wanna believe in me, the outsider and the underdog. It’s like coming of age, coming out and coming up.”
The accompanying video is set in a dusty, deserted Mexican village, with a ‘dead behind the eyes’ Izzy B. Phillips.
It features the final performance from our beloved Tom Dewhurst, nuns, the desert, a beautiful drag queen and kidnapping. Everything you’d want from a Black Honey video: Set to appear on the band’s upcoming album ‘Written & Directed’, the band’s first release of the year features percussive acoustic guitars, reverb-drenched surf guitar and brass. Speaking of the new LP, lead singer and guitarist Izzy B. Phillips said that she “made this record for young women to feel invincible”.
Written & Directed, the new album released March 19th
