Honesty is not a band in the traditional sense. With four core members - George Mitchell, Matt Peel, Josh Lewis and Imi Marston – and a rotating cast of collaborators which have included musicians and visual artists like Kosi Tydes, Softlizard, Rarelyalways, Florence Shaw, and Liam Bailey, the Leeds-based collective emerged as an exercise in doing things differently on a journey towards self-acceptance.
Honesty’s debut album U R Here comes with influences that range from Mount Kimbie and My Bloody Valentine to Björk and Burial. U R Here represents a renewed sense of creative expression amidst a world that can sometimes seem like it's crumbling apart.
The songs on U R Here are a fluid, exhilarating, and uniquely introspective take on club music – sonically mapping the psychological impact of the modern age and harnessing the vitality and freedom that comes with new beginnings. U R Here, right now, and that is all that matters.
