Honingbeer presents Opia EP

Honingbeer’s “Opia” is as careful as it is meticulous work. The result is big, dramatic and bold. It is full of emotional warmth and sincerity. It is pure and constantly surprises in the best possible way.

Her debut EP for Bigamo was written during the pandemic while she was living alone, and partly homeless, really. Opia, by definition, is a defect in vision. In terms of Honingbeer’s music, it refers to a quite different kind of self-reflection, as she did not shy away from challenging the image of herself in the mirror to lead her to the deeper discomfort hidden in her subconscious.

The idea that drives this album refers us to one of the crucial attributes of music, and it is its inexhaustible capacity to generate moods that protect us at all times. Its meaning remains in the hands of lovers of electronic music, beyond the dance floor and all hedonism.

Honingbeer’s command of language is total, and here they have once again delved into the past to be inspired by another verse, more forceful and melancholic, but no less evocative. All in all, we can safely say that this Opia is on the verge of excellence.
