Gentle, airy and deep.

Since our first update today was a mysterious one, I'll continue with a second mystery.

This is Antihoney. Who are/were they? Why did they vanish? Who knows? I found them on a jaunt around youtube and fell in love with their incredible sound. A lot of poking around online later and pretty much all I can tell you is that this track, Stars On My Window is the only song ever released in full on a compilation album named Interregnum - Which is apparently hard to find. Luckily, some wonderful person has uploaded the full track and made it available to download here. 

The Antihoney website over here has free MP3s of some tracks that seem not-quite-finished and a contact email address. I have contacted the owner who is Japanese and didn't speak much English, but was able to tell me that pretty much it all fell to bits and what's there is what's left.

Every song is similar to this one in that everything just feels so gentle, airy and deep. There's something in this music that feels so light but at the same time so heavy. It's slow paced and filled with echo, but those super-high vocals lend it an eerie, dreamlike quality. It's lovely, lovely stuff. 

If you look around in youtube comments, people LOVED this stuff. It's a real, real shame that it was just someone's project that died out. I think with an album and the right promotion, they could have been huge in some circles. Sometimes these things happen...
