Raven Sings The Blues
Review of original Important Records CD version of 'Honey Rose'
Just after their collaboration with The North Sea, Rameses III follow up with a marvelously
serene EP inspired by and written for Jon Spira's upcoming film Suityman. Mixing washes of
acoustic guitar with puddles of drone that don't so much drown the album as they just lap at
the edges. The EP is largely warm and filled with wonder, touching on the film's themes of
memory loss; like seeing everything for the first time and finding the beauty in the minutia.
For the duration of the EP it seems as if everything slows down for just a few seconds longer
to allow you to breathe easier and look just a moment longer. Honey Rose is out now on
Important Records.
