Almost a year after releasing their gloriously ominous EP Husband, Lord, & Master, the goth quartet Wax Lead is back and has joined forces with their self-described "kindred spirits," the Washington D.C. based band Luna Honey for a split 7-inch.
With "Honey on the Moon," you are instantly transfixed as vocalist Holly Axelrod becomes engrossed with what's on the other side. With each repeat of the phrase "there's honey on the moon," Holly's tone shifts from curiosity to obsession. The hypnotic bassline of Cody Bourdot combines with Evan Blasing's drumming to push the group of crusaders forward through the song's vast and deary landscape.
In a statement from the band, Holly describes "Honey on the Moon" as an exploration into humanity's desire to take things that aren't our own. "We rarely have the time to be gracious and reflect on our natural world. This song brings in the comparison of extinguishing the 'Promised Land" by simply wanting to take it."
Wax Lead's split with Luna Honey is available now via Blight. Records. You can listen to both "Honey on the Moon" and "Psalm" by clicking the link below.
