On the back of a shimmering blend of new-wave sheen, shoegaze gloom and angular guitar rock that is underwritten with cheeky, California cool sensibilities, the childhood friends that made up HUNNY propelled their careers with their self-released 2015 EP, ‘Pain / Ache / Loving’, and landed a deal with Epitaph Records. After releasing their Carlos De La Garza (Paramore, Best Coast) produced debut album (2019) and Homesick EP (2022), the band tapped into the wide-eyed excitement and energy of those early years for album #2, Hunny’s New Planet Heaven (2023). Hailed by AltPress as “another top to bottom win that leans more lofi and embraces a thoughtful array of classic Cali sounds,” their Summer 2024 print feature praised the album for “feeding into a spectrum of genres from gritty punk to a softer, electronic soundscape.”
