Single Review
The Chemists - Milk And HoneyThe Chemists – Milk And Honey

The Chemists have been releasing a new single every three months for the last year now and in theory ‘Milk And Honey’ will be the bands last single release for a little while as a week after the single is released the band’s debut album is finally released and features all the singles that the band have released in the past which means there aren’t many more song’s on the album that could possibly be released.

‘Milk And Honey’ is a song about a deluded man whose girlfriend left him and he can’t understand why, as he believes that he is amazing, the song is driven by an real bouncy and catchy super charged guitar hook, whilst front man Johnny Benn’s vocals come across in an upbeat way.

The B-side ‘Close Your Eyes’ starts off with constant drum beats from drummer Matt Albon, Johnny Benn’s vocals come in shortly after sounding very chilled until they become slightly upbeat and catchy during the chorus.

The other two songs featured on the single are remix songs, the first one is a remix of one of their previous singles called ‘Hear Our Song’, whilst the second is a remix of ‘Hot In That’, now if you like your indie songs turned into near dance floor anthems then you will like these remixes, if not it is best waiting until the album is released and listen to the original versions.

‘Milk And Honey’ may not be the best single release from The Chemists but it is still a good release, however I do wonder how well the bands album will do once it is released mainly due to the fact that the album has been a long time coming and pretty much every track on the album has been released in some shape or form.

4/5
