After a recent hiatus, Honeyboys return with their new single “Green Tea”, a song that both looks to the past and future in its influences. Combining layers of jangly guitar strums with pulsating bass and a driving drum machine, the track has features of the soundtrack to a blockbuster 80’s movie. While the music soars, the lyrics remain intimate, detailing the differences in compatibility between two lovers.
Green Tea, is glittering with nostalgia, youthfulness, and first signs of love, with jangly guitars, a steady beat and bass. The vocals are well delivered, confident and dynamic. Once the chorus arrives, the drums introduce more cymbal, there’s some lead guitar and some additional distortion. It felt like a sturdy opener showcasing their strengths as well as overall sound.
Green Tea is influenced by artists such as Dayglow, Coldplay, and Bickle. With its upbeat tempo and soaring/emotional vocals, it’s a song that you can either relax to or move your hips and dance. The hookiest part occurs first at :54 (“She drinks coffee, I like Green Tea) and then it explodes into a rousing synthpop anthem.
The band has been developing their live sound performing at college house parties and venues around San Luis Obispo and plan on making their way down the coast of California. The single is one of the twelve tracks that will appear on their upcoming album set to release early next year.
