A lushly consuming debut single from Canadian artist gloomhush, “Honest” stirs with its late-night, contemplative allure. “I’m not sorry for being honest,” the vocals let out amidst hazy synths and light key twinkling. The “when I go to sleep,” lengthening plays engrossingly amidst serene guitar trickles, culminating in the “can you die with me?” — enticing with its gently reassuring tones. “Honest” is an atmospheric dream-pop success from gloomhush.
Look for more singles from this promising act in the coming months. “Honest” certainly stands out as their debut.
