"could I come here alone sometime with your name carved in the corner of my eye..."
When you feel the rolling heaviness of 'I Come Here Alone' by Brookly based Forever Honey Cold you feel pulled in multiple directions. The sort of banjo-esque flutter and floating synths feel calming, yet the dominant bass and slapping drum beat (that is hard against the mellow tones) creates tension and drama. The lovely vocals, too, feel as if they are walking through difficult times tumbling from lips in measured careful ways. This mixture of melancholia and growing layers of sounds (love, love when the bass marries a guitar line) feels wistful and crushing at times. There is a sense of 90's post punk / romance wave songs blended with twee pop and filtered through hints of shoegaze (not all the way). The big outro is amazing.
Forever Honey are comprised of Liv Price, Aida Mekonnen, Steve Vannelli, and Jack McLoughlin.

Praised for their channeling of "the clever, no-nonsense spirit of 90’s brit pop and the jangly guitars of 80’s new wave" (Tommy Johnson, Ghettoblaster), Brooklyn’s Forever Honey is carving out their own corner of the indie rock scene. Composed of friends Liv Price, Aida Mekonnen, and Steve Vannelli, and Jack McLoughlin, the band made their initial debut with “Pre-Mortem High,” in spring of 2020. The EP was met with excitement by tastemakers, like NPR’s Lars Gotrich; American Songwriter; The Wild Honey Pie; and Atwood Magazine, who enthusiastically declared the group as an artist to watch, “[proving] themselves to be far more than your average alternative band.”
The most important rallying, though, came from independent playlisters, whose voiced support of and connections to the coming-of-age lyrics of co-songwriters Mekonnen and Price landed the EP at over 830K streams across platforms.
The year+ that followed was one of hunkering down with the rest of the world–writing about a whole lot of nothing, worrying about a whole lot of everything, filming Trailer Park Boys-esque skits, and fostering dogs. Signaling a fresh start, Forever Honey returned to the live show circuit in fall 2021 with two fiery singles “Satellite” and “Number One Fan,” out under Better Company Records and recommended by Under the Radar and Earmilk.
Now kicking off in summer 2022, with “Singing To Let England Shake,” the band will be steadily releasing their stockpile of lockdown songs, all of which were self-recorded, produced, and engineered.
