Today we’re thrilled to bring you the first listen, and the premiere of “Milk Teeth,” which is from the debut EP by Honeycrush. Emerging from the vibrant music scene of New York, Honeycrush is the brainchild of singer-songwriter-poet Alexandra Antonopoulos. Her music is a blend of storytelling, drawing inspiration from her own personal experiences, and paying homage to influential sounds of the 90s. Artists like Fiona Apple, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and Jeff Buckley have left an undeniable imprint on her sonic palette.
The track will be available tomorrow, which you can pick up at the following link.
Antonopoulos’s musical journey has had quite the evolution. Despite her early experiences as a classically trained singer, where she honed her skills in pitch-perfection and musicality through training, it wasn’t until December 2020 that she ventured into the realm of guitar playing. The moment she strummed her first chords, a wave of inspiration washed over her, setting in motion the creative process that led to her debut single, which marked a significant turning point in her musical exploration. “Milk Teeth” emerges as another manifestation of Antonopoulos’s newfound creative style, showcasing her artistic growth and musical exploration.
The days of those nostalgic alternative rock and grunge hits have long held a special place in our hearts. They can transport us back to a specific moment in time, evoke feelings of longing, or remind us of a cherished memory. Music has the power to tap into our emotions, and when an artist like Honeycrush combines the familiarity of a nostalgic sound with something entirely new, the result can be incredibly powerful.
With her heavy focus on storytelling, she draws you right into the track, while bringing that familiar alternative sound, in a new and unique way. With her keen eye for introspection, she explores her own flaws and darkest days, embracing the complex realities of life. This song is a heartfelt journey that delves into what is described as obsessive longing, embittered grief, impotent rage, and the unwavering pursuit of self-improvement. Honeycrush refuses to shy away from these emotions, instead amplifying them with carefully crafted tones and euphonious vocal delivery.
With it’s distorted guitars, thought-provoking lyrics, and a dreamy, grungy haze that envelops you, “Milk Teeth” is a gripping combination of styles that hits right in the heartstrings, invoking strong emotions while also offering something new and fresh to the genre. The full EP is set to release later this fall.
