Travis Bird, "Honey and Heat"

Travis Bird's new single "Honey and Heat" bleeds through the ground like the summer overtaking spring, a sudden blow from unexpected storms to muggy slow afternoons stopped still. Following the chiming, layered pop of his debut, Bourgeois Treats, "Honey and Heat" extracts urgency and rawness from those layers. These layers are heavy and steadily pulsing, offering a striking contrast to the brighter tone of the album.  From the poisonous head to the purest bourbon smoke, Bird's garage song answers San Francisco's paisley with visions of New Orleans' blues: those basest structures supporting boisterous rumors and suppressed desires, delivered with trades between barbed wire guitars and hazy doubled vocals.

Enjoy!
