HONEYGLAZE

THE KIT LIST HONEYGLAZE

INTRODUCTION

Honeyglaze is a trio from London made of Yuri Shibuichi on drums, Anouska Sokolow on vocals, guitar and keys, and Tim Curtis on bass. An ungodly fusion of 3 humans into a clamouring superorganism. It eats only fish and demands undistracted and constant worship. FFO Power Rangers, Salvador Dalí.

LONGFELLOW GUITARS

My guitar has a custom-built hollow aluminium body and Gretsch Filter’Tron pickups. It’s amazingly light but it has a really rich sound. Longfellow Guitars is a family business in London run by a metalworker, so there’s nothing quite like what they make. - Anouska.

DR NELSON VOCAL STEAMER

Singing every night tends to put a strain on the vocal cords, especially since I'm someone prone to losing my voice even when not singing. It’s easy to carry around and quite fun too. - Anouska.

THULE XT L ROOF BOX

We are lucky enough to only

have 3 members, and we were lucky enough to be invited on a support tour where the headliner brought their own backline. Even with an extra guitar and synth, we saved a lot of money by sticking this roof box on a tiny Fiat Panda instead of hiring out a whole van. We don’t recommend the Fiat Panda unless that’s all you have. - Tim.

22” ISTANBUL DARK LEGEND RIDE W/ RIVETS

I feel like a darker sounding ride that is also crashable, with the combination of rivets creates a wide range of expression that I feel suits and is needed for our shows, which tend to be very loud at some points and very quiet and more textural in others. Also super satisfying for swells. - Yuri.

DARK GLASS VINTAGE MICROTUBE

Essential when we want to sound heavier especially as we are a three-piece having a drive really adds some depth and contrast to the sound. A blend/mix parameter for drives are always useful for achieving a slightly saturated sound as opposed to a clearly overdriven or distorted sound as it allows great versatility from 1 pedal, especially with the

Honeyglaze's self-titled debut album, is due out 29th April 2022 on Speedy Wunderground.
