A witty, raw offering, ‘Honey (One Day in Atlantic City)’ is certainly old school in its sonic character. Proper lo-fi, in the most real sense, the track exchanges elegance for fierceness and energy, elements that are widely available in KaiserKillers’ musical universe. Introduced by a sloppy drum groove, the single is soon joined by sharp and gritty guitar tones, a perfect match for the song’s casual, playful lyricism.
Johnny Zero and Andy DeForest guide the project with charisma and confidence, joined by Flash Harry, Pietro Futura and Barry Bang. Together they form KaiserKillers, hanging out around Colchester but pursuing national recognition. ‘Honey (One Day in Atlantic City)’ is not a record for everyone: miles away from the contemporary iper-polished sound that many listeners are familiar with, it embarks on an alternative path, at times nostalgic and retro.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Honey (One Day in Atlantic City)’, KaiserKillers explain: “A love song about a girl, a journey (with the turnpike glowing in the moonlight) and a disappointing chilli dog at the kooky cafe!”
