To celebrate the one year anniversary of “Satellite Aphrodite”, Mad Honey have released “DISCORDIA”. This 11-track album featured reimagined tracks from their Deathwish Inc. & Sunday Drive Records debut and is available now on all streaming services along with a limited edition CD.
Last September, Oklahoma City rock band Mad Honey released their debut record Satellite Aphrodite. In celebration of its one year anniversary, they’re announcing a full-length reimagined album, DISCORDIA.
More often than not, the reworked songs sound like a broken cassette recording of a dream rock group being run through a washing machine, a mangled mess of distorted guitars, crunchy drums and hyper-pop synths laden with fuzz.
“The goal of this project was to make something so far removed from the original recordings,” says Bramlett. “I was really frustrated with all the shit going on in our world right now. The planet is dying, people keep killing each other, and I just wanted to get all that aggression out with the music and make something as crazy as our world feels. The songs were almost entirely recorded within a week’s time, just raw and live spur of the moment takes to really capture that feeling.”
The result is 11 tracks that span a variety of genres. Everything from the fast paced punk tinged “Headspin” and “fuckurself” to the hyper-pop ballads “red room” “when it all goes wrong” and “psych!!” While songs like “SATAPH” “TLS” and “k (the temple of my body” provide ambient hopeful soundscapes, hook heavy tracks like “EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED,” “u” and “HEAVY” showcase the catchy pop melodies of Mad Honey.
