Honey I’m Home Release Bright & Breezy New Track ‘Perfect’

Honey I’m Home have shared a new song, their first of 2026, that feels like it’s going to be a Summer anthem already.

It’s called ‘Perfect’, and is a shimmering slice of throwback grungey, shoegazey, emoey loveliness. With guitars played as softly as lyrics are uttered, it’s ready-made for the long hot days of June, July and August. The sort of song that pairs perfectly with sea air and sunsets.

Though dig a little deeper, and you have a song that represents so much more. A focus on how someone’s appearance may become more important to them than everything else they do in the world feels like a jab at the perception trap so many people find themselves in today.

Vocalist and guitarist Thom Schotanus has explained it all a bit more.

“‘Pretty’ is about people who have learned to suppress negative emotions by fully focusing on their appearance. The track explores depressive feelings that are hidden behind the search for attention—not because these people are shallow themselves, but because using looks is something that works. After all, people apparently do judge a book by its cover.

The song looks at emptiness and cynicism, and at how being attractive can sometimes become the only thing left of someone’s personality. Eventually, people start to believe in that as a last form of support: “at least I am pretty.”

The band are set to make their way across Europe on a pair of support tours later this year, whilst also making an appearance at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Here is where you can catch them.
