Leeds based Honey Guide - AKA Jacob Andrews - releases his debut EP ‘A Tidy Room Is A Tidy Mind’ today via Bam Bam Records, the label and collective set-up by indie-risers Eades.
Reminiscent in elements of Whitney, Kevin Morby or Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, with a sardonic British twist, 'A Tidy Room Is A Tidy Mind’ establishes Honey Guide’s sonic world. It's a sepia toned affair, full of woozy psych and jazz-tinged Americana. Pre-release singles ‘I Feel Funny’, ‘Just My Style’ and 'Nom De Plume' all played a part in slowly unveiling Jacob's silky, lackadaisical approach.
A spirit of collectiveness is pervading the music in Leeds right now - with various projects trading ideas, members and resources to uplift the entire indie scene. Honey Guide falls squarely into this, working with members of rising band Eades in their Bam Bam Studios before releasing on the associated label. Jacob has also played with Far Caspian, Niall Summerton and Harry Hanson, as well as working on demos with Louis Sadler of Van Houten.
