David Nance - Staunch Honey
Nebraska songwriter David Nance's fifth (proper) studio album, Staunch Honey, is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2018 album Peaced and Slightly Pulverized. Returning to the home-recorded magic of his early albums, Staunch Honey was recorded entirely to tape by Nance himself at his Omaha home with scattered assistance from his longtime live bandmates Jim Schroeder & Kevin Donohue.
Staunch Honey is the culmination of two years of hard work - Nance worked and reworked the album three times over, recording & re-recording songs until they sounded just so - a stunning batch of sonic manna that hums with feeling and mood; expertly crafted, but sounding simultaneously off-the-cuff. Nance dials back the squalling feedback & raging guitars found on "Peaced..." into something a bit mellower, like the soundtrack to a late-night drive or late night hangs. Rusted and dusted with mid-fi, stoney brilliance.
