Black Honey – “Soak” (Released 15th August 2025)

Two years sober and enjoying a thriving career as a tattoo artist, front person, Izzy Phillips, is still a force of nature but has found healthier outlets for her boundless energy.

Needless to say, it’s not been easy, but the band are reaping the benefits now, enjoying deeper levels of self-acceptance as a byproduct of all their emotional labour.

On the album, Phillips says, “Soak is me processing a decade of touring and creating music and art as an addict. It’s me picking at the layers of messy, romantic, confusing, woozy, beautiful and fucked up things. Who I thought I was, who I was supposed to be and who looks back at me now are all so different but I’m kind of here for it.”
