Honey In The Hive Music CD

Hailing from Philadelphia, The Bigger Lover's debut, How I Learned to Stop Worrying (Black Dog) blew minds with its bombastic sonics, delicate sophistication and drop-dead gorgeous songs. UK mag Uncut gave it four stars and deemed it a 'dazzling trove of glorious power- riffing, celestial harmonies, and spunky, crunchy melodies.' CMJ dubbed it a 'finely crafted communion of pop-rock's touchstones: pre- Tommy Who, Brian Wilson, the Zombies, Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Chris Bell-era Big Star.' After a solid year of touring, a European release for Worrying, writing, demoing, and releasing a 7" single, the Lovers have returned with a dignified mother of a follow-up record: Honey In the Hive. Produced by Thom Monahan (Pernice Brothers, Beachwood Sparks, J. Mascis) and engineered by Brian McTear (Burning Brides, Swearing At Motorists, Mazarin) the 11-song record finds the Lovers lightening up on the reverb, bumping the guitars up a notch, and delivering more achingly bittersweet songs and tightly wound harmonies than should be allowed by law. The Bigger Lovers will be touring thoughout the late summer and fall to support the release.
