HONNE deliver new single 'Backseat Driver'

With their eagerly-awaited new album landing in the coming months, HONNE have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Backseat Driver' comes accompanied by a stunning new video, directed by Kamil Dymek, and follows on from the previously shared outings ‘Imaginary’, ‘Songs In My Head’ and ‘Girl In the Orchestra’ in previewing their new LP 'Ouch', which is out on the 6th September via Smile More Recordings / AWAL Recordings.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Andy Clutterbuck said, “It was written as a result of having some therapy sessions, which ended up being more casual conversations about my life and who I was as a person. In my teens and growing up I always thought I was quite outgoing. I certainly wasn’t shy and felt lucky to have a broad range of friends in different circles. As I’ve gotten older, I feel the opposite has happened and for whatever reason I feel I’ve become much more of an introvert and for a long time I’ve felt almost ashamed of this, like it was wrong to be like this in some way, especially for someone who is one of the front people of a band. Having therapy allowed me to understand that there’s nothing wrong with the way I am and helped me change my view on being an introvert. ‘Backseat Driver’ is about coming to terms with and enjoying taking the backseat and going by unnoticed.”
