Sugar Honey Iced Tea! is the highly anticipated debut album from
musclecars, set for a May 2024 release on BBE Music. Having already
established their presence in the club scene, from the joyous atmosphere
of their Coloring Lessons parties to their residency at Nowadays in
NYC, and with genre-bending performances worldwide, musclecars are eager
to unveil this new world they've intentionally crafted.
This forthcoming album comprises 13 tracks that sonically come together
to offer a profound lens into the Afro-American experience. Themes range
from joy, to loss, intimacy, helplessness, perseverance, and all the
facets that lie in between. From the very first tune, musclecars set the
tone with an exploration of afro-dystopia, carrying listeners through
the entire album whilst creating imaginary futures born out of
self-preservation and self-discovery.
Through their practice of sonic storytelling, native New Yorkers Brandon
Weems and Craig Handfield use this album to speak to the nuances of
their daily lives and their environment. Join them on this musical
journey as they delve into a collection that captures the essence of the
black experience with authenticity, emotion, and rhythm. This album
stands as one of their favorite bodies of work in recent memory, and
they're so excited to share it with you.
