LA based alternative – pop band Paper Jackets have released their infectious new single “Drugs & Honey,” the first written by the band since coming out of quarantining for the better part of the first half of the year.
“Drugs & Honey” is the first look at the band’s next collection of songs Souvenirs Volume Two, with more tracks and release info to come soon.
vocalist James Mason, said:
We’re all paying the pharmacist whether it’s for cocaine or Starbucks.
‘Drugs & Honey’ is about what we do to mask the pain. It’s a stylish approach to the nothingness that becomes us and the colorful veil to cover up. I personally like drug metaphors, crispy vocals, and hot take heart breaks.
vocalist Aimee Proal adds on:
Society places a certain pressure to exude happiness at all times and this song translates the feeling of putting on your best face while working through your existence.
“Drugs & Honey” was produced by Jordan Witzigrueter (The Ready Set) and co-written by Paper Jackets vocalists James Mason and Aimee Proal with Jordan & Cameron Walker (Twin XL), and was mixed by Charlie Park (lovelytheband, Dreamers).
“Drugs & Honey” is the latest offering from Paper Jackets since the July 2020 release of their album, Souvenirs Volume One, , following singles “What They Call A Life,” “Baby Teeth” and “Miss You.” The 10-track album is one part of a collection that stretches and pulls at the genre of alternative rock while revealing a nostalgic theme throughout; touching on creative moments the band has experienced together to addiction and its many forms.
