NEXUS by The New Honey Shade
The New Honey Shade - NEXUS
________________________________________
The New Honey Shade // With numerous releases under his guise, Mark Kuykendall comes to Handstitched* with his latest release "NEXUS" - a synth-heavy trip full of hooks and retrospective warmth, "NEXUS" flows seamlessly with each piece - deviating with an alternative purpose and a melodic form, something which TNHS does with [spacious] poise.
The New Honey Shade caught our attention in 2011 with the mind-changing tape release on Scissor Tail Records "Ozark Dream". Mark has continuously released a solid and reminiscent sound, defined by 8mm film and dust-laced nostalgia on many well-known labels as well as his own Unknown Tone imprint. Mark also runs the Wild Mountain Studios in Osage Hills, Oklahoma.
