Honeyroot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honeyroot is an ambient dance collaboration between Glenn Gregory and Keith Lowndes, that is signed to the 'Just Music' recording company. The project has its origins in the 1997 Blatant album release Skyscraping by ABC. As ABC was essentially Martin Fry, after the departure of co-member Mark White, Keith Lowndes and fellow Sheffield native Glenn Gregory of the electropop-funk band Heaven 17, were brought in for co-writing duties on the album.

One of the original names for the group was Primrose Chill, according to Gregory.

Honeyroot reached the Top 75 of the UK Singles chart with their ambient reading of the Joy Division song "Love Will Tear Us Apart", which also appeared in the film Red Road. 2006 saw an online-only release entitled EP1.

The Sun Will Come features three singles, the double A-sided "Nobody Loves You (The Way I Do)" b/w "Heavy Drops," and "Where I Belong."
