Swedish duo Pale Honey a few times in the past, but they have been pretty quiet for the past eighteen months or so. The pair have often drawn comparisons to the likes of PJ Harvey and Sleater-Kinney, but there is a lot more to them than mere pale imitation.

What is certain is that they have their own breed of nervy, direct, and distortion heavy indie rock at their disposal and happily their new single Real Thing sees the band continue to plough these furrows, but also experiment more with percussion and electronics. It’s the first taste of their second album, which should be due next April/May 2017.

Official video for “Over Your Head” by Pale Honey. A great first album. I always enjoy finding new music, and these ladies are pretty good for a first album. I look forward to seeing what they do in the future, especially with the beautiful white Fender Jaguar the singer and guitarist has. The album is angsty, but not juvenile or whiny. Overall, a good album.

Excellent debut! A stripped-down alternative sound. There’s a lot of emotional range, the highs and lows of life and love, they joys and miseries of relationship…but the overall result to me is far more liberating than down, which is a good thing.
Other tracks “Fish” and “Youth” are tops. No poor tracks and the sound is varied and experimental, Pale Honey aren’t plying the same tunings and stylings over and over. Going forward might do well to compose more songs, and limit the recorded tracks as much as possible to obvious A list tunes, for an even better result.

There’s a controlled power to Pale Honey’s sound, which despite conveying a certain ‘cooler than thou’ sense of black leather and shades also has an undercurrent of knowing playfulness. Hailing from Gothenburg Sweden, Pale Honey are Tuva Lodmark (guitar / vocals) and Nelly Daltrey (drums) they’ve already released a wonderful EP ‘Fiction’ in 2014 and their self-titled debut built on their early promise. Taken from Gothenburg based duo Pale Honey´s debut album “Pale Honey” which came out in May.
