Deafheaven - "Honeycomb"

Listen to the full album: bit.ly/2zlta7S
"Honeycomb" by Deafheaven from the album 'Ordinary Corrupt Human Love,' available now
Order at deafheaven.com/
Lyrics
shadows extend east
and Cortazar stares at women shuffling by who blot their lips from violent men
and say "god bless you"
I sulk with pause and
loving mariachi soars against the red and yellow tents of strangers
gifting geese the ends of bread.
8, 12, 13 hours and the people keep fighting for sleep, for rest...
i'm reluctant to stay sad
life beyond is a field a flowers
my love is a nervous child lapping from the glowing lagoon of their presence
my love is a bulging, blue-faced fool hung from the throat by sunflower stems

Dude plays synth with one hand while doing intricate top work with the other and pulling off absolutely psychotic double bass patterns and speaking in...binary? Cursive zalgo text?

[@Dan-yh4uz]

Adam Seneca if that's the bar for artistic criticism, then I guess you can only be a critic if you work in the field of what your criticizing? "this burger isn't very good" Sorry man, you have to be a chef to have that opinion. "man, I didn't like that movie much" Once you make your own 100 million dollar film, then you can talk. You do realize how dumb that is, right?

[@ishmaelseneca3389]

Philosophical Skeptic this would make tons of sense if it took the actual comments into consideration. For example the comments which complain about it being "surfcore" or "hipster trash," etc. The burger critic is making an appeal to his subjective experience, while 99% of the hate in this comments field is without form or direction

[@massass9945]

Philosophical Skeptic // I feel like the direction in which Adam is taking his point is a little different. People say that Deafheaven is bad comparing the group to other, different artists/groups in the metal scene. It’d be like going to a restaurant, ordering a burger, than complaining that the burger didn’t taste exactly like the one you have at Wendy’s. The burger analogy aside, people need to stop acting like they know everything about music and what’s good and bad. As someone who is in the art, music, and theater scene, I have no fucking clue what I’m doing half the time, but my style is my own. Yes, all art is borrowed and/or inspired by another piece in SOME WAY, but it’s still my own, and it wouldn’t be fair to lump me in with some band like Dads or Scale The Summit and call me bad because I’m not just like them. There’s no set boundary to music, it can be so many different things, and rather than pining for the bad in things and drawing comparisons, maybe appreciating the art for what it is, an expression of its creator, there would be a lot of changed, more satisfied people with entirely new understandings of things.

I can't describe how tracks (albums in fact) like this make me feel confident about how I love music and how much it means to my everyday life. When this dropped as a single, I couldn't withstand BM vocals yet, though Canary Yellow, perhaps thanks to mellow intro, somehow managed to instill itself in my mind. Recently, probably due to Infinite Granite, I've embarked on the journey of rediscovering Deafheaven and oh boy. Ordinary Corrupt Human Love has got to be one of my absolute top favourite albums of all time. The way these tracks can pull "some strings inside" is otherwordly. Especially Honeycomb. Despite the harsh vocal, the message and the arrangement make me feel like barely any other song can. This has got to be one of the most positive, heartwarming tunes I will ever have heard in my life. Thank you Deafheaven, and thank you community for being there and giving this band the praise it truly deserves, for whatever reason you might be there. I wonder how many more pieces like this await me and I'm grateful I can experience them just in time when I need them. My 2023 is definitely the year of Deafheaven. Aaaaaaand if you are reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day.
