Drugdealer is the project of L.A.-based musician Michael Collins, who makes music that is heavily indebted to the sounds of the 1970s, with soft rock, psychedelia, and the singer-songwriters of that era all showing up as sonic touchstones in Drugdealer’s sophomore album Raw Honey.
“Honey” stands out as one of the highlights of the album, with Collins continuing his collaboration with Weyes Blood‘s Natalie Mering that started with “Suddenly” off of Drugdealer’s debut The End Of Comedy.
The ’70s references come through pretty clearly in this track, with Mering’s Karen Carpenter-esque delivery and some nice George Harrison inspired guitar flourishes hearkening back to the sounds of retro AM radio gold. Check it out.
