Dutch-based outfit Honey I’m Home recently returned with their dazzling new effort Pretty, a single that wastes no time in trying to introduce itself. Instead, it just slips in, all hazy guitars and loose-limbed rhythm before locking you in to its tightly wound groove. Vocalist and guitarist Thom Schotanus explains: "'Pretty' is about people who have learned to suppress negative emotions by fully focusing on their appearance. The track explores depressive feelings that are hidden behind the search for attention—not because these people are shallow themselves, but because using looks is something that works. After all, people apparently do judge a book by its cover.  The song looks at emptiness and cynicism, and at how being attractive can sometimes become the only thing left of someone’s personality. Eventually, people start to believe in that as a last form of support: “at least I am pretty.” Take a listen below.
