Ethereal, forest-dwelling dream pop with breathy vocals and shimmering guitars. Like sunlight filtering through ancient trees on a quiet afternoon.
The Honey Trees were a California-based dream pop duo consisting of Becky Filip and Jacob Wick, active primarily between 2008 and 2014. Their sound identity is characterized by a blend of ethereal wave, indie pop, and chamber folk, often categorized by fans as 'forest fantasy.'
This aesthetic was solidified early on through their collaboration with legendary producer Charlie Peacock on their debut EP 'Wake the Earth.' Their only full-length album, 'Bright Fire' (2014), represents the peak of their sonic evolution, featuring lush, reverb-soaked arrangements and intricate vocal layering. The band's career arc was cut short when the members' personal relationship ended shortly after the release of their debut LP, leading to their disbandment. Despite their brief tenure, they maintain a dedicated cult following within the dream pop and 'sad girl' aesthetic communities. They are frequently associated with peers like Sucre and The Narrative, occupying a niche that bridges the gap between the whimsical indie-pop of the mid-2000s and the more atmospheric, production-heavy dream pop of the 2010s.
