While the Northern Hemisphere gets set to experience the summer heat, and the Southern Hemisphere dreams about summery day musings, there is a new anthem on the horizon: the latest from Katanak is ‘Honeycomb and Hurricane.’ Filled to the brim with the essence of summer, this fresh track is sure to be a perfect playlist addition whether you’re breezing it down the freeway on your road trip or sizzling the BBQ with your comrades.
The track opens with muted synth sounds and acoustic guitar before filling out into a complete indie pop soundscape, and it’s not until the rhythm kicks in that Katanak’s catchy vocals begin to tell their story. Infectious hooks and an unforgettable chorus are the makings of a song that truly sticks with you, “Honeycomb and Hurricane.”
Sent into the world from the mind of Australian pop/indie rock musician Katanak, the track navigates its way between ear-snagging pop and indie rock with ease—touching listeners of any background. Channelling acts like The Band Camino, Corella, and sometimes even The Wombats, Katanak embodies that summer feel, exuding the sun’s warmth in every note.
