Honey Joy announce new album ‘II’

HONEY JOY have announced a new album!

Titled II, the upcoming album from the London-based alternative rock band is their second full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Everything Sucks Music.

The upcoming album was recorded at the sadly recently closed Music Land Studios in Haggerston, London with Simon Small [BLACK MIDI, APOLOGIES, I HAVE NONE, CULT DREAMS, THE FRONT BOTTOMS] over a mere five days last year. “Our beloved pug dog Vinnie was on hand at each session to give creative advice to Simon when it was needed,” says guitarist (and vocalist Meg Tinsley’s husband) Matt Tinsley.

Vocalist Meg Tinsley wrote half the songs whilst signed-off sick from work due to her mental health and the other half when she was out the other side and on a mission of self love. It’s “an exploration of the places your mind can go and a narrative of my experiences during those times,” she says.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be taken from the upcoming record; Part Two: The Healer.
