Blood & Honey by Summer of Hate
'Blood & Honey' are two contrasting sound explorations that expand the musical lore of the band from Porto and its spectrum of emotions while shaping the songs in typical Summer of Hate fashion: epic and anthemic.
“Blood” - An exploration of the language of shoegazing through “global” music, punk and danceable rhythms. A pot with various ingredients from sufi music, dabke, Phrygian and Indian scales, raga, drone, swells to expand the psychedelic language and the impressionism of shoegaze. Its aim is to promote the Middle Eastern musical aesthetic and expand it through the energy of punk and noisy textures.
“Honey” - An expansion of the shoegazing sound of the debut album, broadening the lexicon of portuguese pop music and taking the band's working method of pastiche and timbral revivalism of the 60s and mashing twee, jangle, post-punk, britpop and slowcore all together in three songs, maintaining it’s psychedelic tendencies and creating beautiful melodies whose aim is to melt hearts while nerding out on NME’s C86 compilation.
