London-based dreampop trio Just Like Honey return with “Laugh About It”, a hazy, slow-burning meditation on the quiet emotional storms we all learn to hide. With their signature cinematic soundscapes and melancholic warmth, the band crafts a track that feels intimate yet expansive, deeply resonant, and exquisitely fragile.
Frontwoman Emily delivers vocals that are equal parts confession and unspoken ache, weaving through a sonic tapestry of swirling guitars and smouldering emotional pulses. The song occupies the liminal space between shoegaze haze, grunge grit, and dreamy pop glow, a sound that floats while striking straight to the chest. Lyrically, it explores the delicate art of maintaining façades while anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty swirl just beneath the surface.
“Laugh About It floats like a daydream underwater, nostalgic and vulnerable,” the band explains. “It’s about keeping up the façade when everything shakes beneath the surface. A bittersweet anthem for anyone who’s ever faked being okay.” What began as a simple acoustic sketch by Emily evolved over multiple arrangements and finally found its full shape in Somerset with producer Pete Robertson. The result is both familiar and novel, like recalling a memory you aren’t entirely sure you lived.
With this release, Just Like Honey continues to chart a quietly radiant path, offering music that encourages listeners not to escape their feelings but to sit with them gently. “Laugh About It” lingers long after it ends, settling like sunlight through sheer curtains: warm, wistful, and achingly honest.
