Musically somewhere in-between light 80\u2019s disco and sad 90\u2019s indie, it balances\u00a0on a knife edge, perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A melancholic yet&nbsp;groove-laden&nbsp;track, it can be treated as a liberating experience in itself, songwriter and guitarist Tuva Lodmark explains:&nbsp;<em>\u201cTo me, the song symbolizes the emotions following a recent break-up. I was pissed and bitter, and at the same time regretful and sad. There was also an energy in me that was about to explode. I couldn\u2019t be still, couldn\u2019t sit at home, I had to go out and constantly meet new people. Everything had to happen, and it needed to happen all at once. The danceable element of the song represents the stage in&nbsp;a separation where you\u2019re rediscovering yourself. Or simply going out into the night and not getting home until dawn.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pale Honey\u2019s third album is produced by Anders Lagerfors.\u00a0The journey to\u00a0release\u00a0has not been plane sailing, Daltrey reveals,\u00a0<em>&#8220;it\u2019s been tough as hell getting there, to be honest, but no matter what the road has been like, we have to\u00a0bring it out into the light. We need to be able to write and play while having those doubts and horrible moments.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artwork for the new singles features illustration&nbsp;by&nbsp;Daltrey&nbsp;and looks to&nbsp;<em>\u201cportray different forms of what Pale Honey is. At the time, I&nbsp;actually just wanted to sit by myself and create something without showing it to anyone. But I feel like the illustrations found their way into the music. They are a tribute to everyone I look up to.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is &#8216;Set MeFree&#8217;\u00a0based on their own experiences? You bet. Did they know from the start this was how raw it would turn out? Hell no. But there is something very special about staring at yourself in the mirror, and confronting your face fully swollen from all the ugly crying. Because you know,\u00a0through some deep resilience, that you\u2019re gonna be alright in the end, and\u00a0that in the meantime you can find\u00a0comfort in\u00a0dancing\u00a0yourself free from the pain you&#8217;ve been through.\u00a0Daltrey says it best:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Sometimes you just need to\u00a0dance ugly and be held, without having to \u2019perform\u2019 to be rewarded with love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live dates<\/strong><br>October 26th: Female Future Festival &#8211; Hamburg, Germany<br>October 27th: 086 &#8211; Darmstadt, Germany<br>October 28th: Blue Shell &#8211; K\u00f6ln, Germany<br>October 30th: Urban Spree &#8211; Berlin, Germany<br>November 7th: Colours Hoxton &#8211; London, UK<br>November 9th: Heartbreakers &#8211; Southampton, UK<br>November 16th: Queen Elizabeth Stadium &#8211; Hong Kong, China<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Pale Honey, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-mkulril-ejlihlkhu-u\/\">palehoney.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Swedish band Pale Honey\u00a0have released\u00a0their new single Set Me Free, the\u00a0first new music from the band\u00a0since\u00a02017 album &#8216;Devotion&#8217;.
