About Honey

Description

We discover Whoman, a Brussels trio formed by Mira and Ambroos De Schepper and Lou Wery, after several years of concerts and sound explorations blending electronic and acoustic formats. Born from travels, rehearsals, and fragments accumulated in various living spaces, *About Honey* was patiently crafted, like a collection of soundscapes and intimate stories. What immediately strikes the listener is the richness of the textures and the fluidity of the arrangements. Acoustic guitars, mandolin, and tenor guitar converse with synthetic pads and delicate vocal harmonies, sketching a shifting sonic universe where pop energy and introspective folk atmospheres intertwine. Finalized at Studio Ledeberg in Ghent, the album bears the traces of these years of concerts, particularly the tours in mountain shelters that refocused attention on the essence of the tracks: the voices, the harmonies, and the collective breath. Like the honey from which it borrows its metaphor, *About Honey* concentrates multiple influences to reveal a unique color: the textured breadth of Animal Collective and Panda Bear, the luminous melancholy of Fleet Foxes, or the abundant songwriting of Dirty Projectors. In ten tracks, Whoman delivers a dense and luminous debut album, both organic and inventive, where the delicacy of the voices and the richness of the arrangements create a warm and vibrant record, revealing a singular new voice on the Belgian indie scene.
