The shimmer of slide guitar and languid pace of “Give Me Honey” by Dope Lemon is somehow reminiscent of both Luna and Harry Nilsson. The hovering synth haunting the background in descending tones to accent the main vocal line and unconventional percussion conveys a kind of late night lounge vibe but with a haunted elegance. The music video for the song reinforces the impression of the song like there’s a lurid secret hidden behind appearances and underneath the surface, secrets that may rattle existing norms and expectations. The hardened cowboy types and hanging out at a classier bar than one might associate with their usual hangout and the exotic, mysterious figure that draws their attention. The plot of the video ends inconclusively as does the song with a simply fast fade out. But it works as a slice of life and the simple mysteries and fantasies everyone entertains just to get through the drudgery of the usual mundane existence that is the work week.
