Dutch quintet Honey I’m Home are back with a new single, and it hits harder than ever. Hyperspace Mountain arrives on the heels of last month’s Pretty — the track that earned the band their first UK national radio plays on BBC 6 Music — and makes one thing very clear: this band is stepping into a bigger, heavier version of themselves.
The five-piece — Thom Schotanus, Sofie Ooteman, Jasper Meurs, Hugo de Groot, and Evelien Keesmaat — have been putting in serious road work lately. Recent festival runs at Reeperbahn and Left of the Dial, a full European tour supporting Hotline TNT (Third Man Records), and US debut appearances at SXSW in Austin and New Colossus Festival in New York City all helped forge ‘Hyperspace Mountain’ into an immediate live favourite — mosh pits and all. Stateside, the band got to spend time with some of the international shoegaze and indie community who’ve long been in their orbit, including staying with Hotline TNT’s Will Anderson and linking up with Winter while in New York.
Thematically, the track works almost as a paradox: dense, broad-shouldered shoegaze built around something quietly vulnerable. The band explores people-pleasing, self-minimization, and the frustration of putting yourself in the back seat of your own life. Vocalist and guitarist Thom Schotanus breaks it down:
Hyperspace Mountain is about sidelining yourself — and the frustration that comes with it, and the desire for that to change. The track reflects how we see the new wave of shoegaze evolving: an intense guitar-driven track that leans heavily on electronic sounds.
Catch the band on the road later this month when they join Swedish rockers Girl Scout across Europe. UK dates are coming soon.
