    Hazy slacker rock with catchy melodies and psych-y breakdowns, Melt the Honey is a warm, raw album that invites reflection without judgement.

    While inspired by numerous corners of art and creation, the influences seamlessly blend into a cohesive and thoughtful tracklist. The imperfections and hinderances embraced by the band allowed for their boldest project to date.

    An unshowily eclectic record warmed by the glow of new love, is the group’s third and strongest album since signing to Fire Talk in 2021.

    With a sharp ear for hooks, quirky phrasing tendencies, and visceral, spontaneous-sounding accompaniment, ultimately making Melt the Honey play out something like a guilty pleasure.

    It’s not a perfect album – you get the impression that Packs as a band are still figuring out their sound, and they’re at that stage where plenty of ideas are going to be thrown around.

    While Link's observations are often engaging on the album, they can sometimes get lost in her sometimes-affected lethargy.
