Interview: HONNE

HONNE are a self-defined electronic soul duo from East London. Their music is mellow, ambient, and soulful. They recently released their first full-length album titled, ‘Warm on a Cold Night,’ and ahead of their gig at Rescue Rooms I got the chance to catch up with them. Guys, how are you feeling? James & Andy: Good, really good. Excited. How far have you travelled to come to Notts? James: We played in Brighton last night, so we drove up half way to a nowhere place. So yeah,

REVIEW: HONNE at the Rescue Rooms

HONNE (meaning ‘real intention’ in Japanese) are a London duo that makes good music. Really good music. Self-defined by electronic soul, yet taking influences from a plethora of other genres, it is hard to put a finger on exactly what kind of sound they make. I had the pleasure of watching them perform live at the Rescue Rooms last Monday a few months after the release of their first full-length album, ‘Warm on a Cold Night.’ Liv Dawson, the support act, began with the mellow

HONNE performing at the Rescue Rooms this Monday…

HONNE, a duo from East London, are helping pave a way into a new music genre; a kind of indie electro with a warm, mellow feel – it is hard to pin down a band with a similar sound. They are coming back to Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms on the 31st of October to bless the ears of all the more edgy personnel who prefer a good gig over a Halloween social. After debuting their first single in 2014, ‘Warm on a Cold Night’, they have indeed gained widespread credibility with the release

Honne @ The Bodega, 19/10/15

Bow boys Honne seduced a pliable crowd at the Bodega on Monday night with their soulful vocals, tropical synths and light percussion on the penultimate night of their first headline UK tour. This year Honne (which is a Japanese word meaning “true desire”) have gone from strength to strength, signing to Super Recordings (the same label that launched Bondax and AlunaGeorge), selling out shows in London and Paris and performing at festivals across the country. Their unique brand

Keep warm on this cold night with Honne

Get set for laid back vocals and shimmering percussion as Bow boys Honne take over the Bodega for an intimate gig. The electro-soul duo is made up of vocalist and producer Andy Clutterbuck and producer James Hatch. The pair have been making music that sounds like “something you might listen to on a late night summer drive through a city with the windows down” ever since they met in their first week at university.
