Honeyblood – “Sea Hearts”
Scottish punk duo Honeyblood had a stellar string of one-offs after their self-titled 2014 debut, and today they continue the streak with the fun, frenzied “Sea Hearts.” A muted 4-bar lures you in before they sucker punch you with plenty of fuzz and lyrics about “sipping tequila after dark.” The song then dissolves into a more rhythmic earworm hook, and it all exudes the carefree, playful audacity that we’ve come to expect from the band. I’ll probably have the irresistible, “We are the breakers on the waves/ And we’ll break hearts, break hearts, break hearts, that get in our way,” stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Listen.
