HONEYCRUSH - Peeling by DUNE ALTAR published on 2023-07-04T19:38:54Z Dune Altar (DA-048) Honeycrush is the solo music project from New York singer-songwriter-poet Alexandra Antonopoulos. Using evocative storytelling and raw, emotive vocal performances, Honeycrush seamlessly ignores the trappings of genre, while drawing on the disparate influences of ‘90s permawave artists like Fiona Apple, Nirvana, PJ Harvey and Jeff Buckley to create sonic landscapes that are heavy with mood and ripe with emotion. Despite having been a singer since childhood, classically trained to respect the traditions of pitch-perfection and musicality, Antonopoulos only first picked up a guitar in December 2020. Inspiration surged in her as she learned to play, resulting in the writing, production and subsequent release of “Tilt Your Head,” her first single, in early 2022. Three more singles followed in quick succession, with her fourth, “I Want It To Be Light So They Can See We Disappeared” released on eclectic LA label Dune Altar, a partnership that continues with the release of her upcoming debut EP MILK TEETH. With MILK TEETH, Antonopoulos attempts to reconcile the relationship between pain and growth, taking a microscope to her own flaws and worst days. Obsessive longing, embittered grief, impotent rage, and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement are inescapable realities that Antonopoulos refuses to condemn in her journey of self-examination on Milk Teeth. Instead, they are amplified by every meticulously chosen guitar tone and sting in the inflection of each word.
