New Audio: New York’s Pink Honey Moan Teams up with Beeson and daoud on Breezy yet Brooding “Bad Man”

Jared Lindbloom is a South Dakota-born, New York-based singer/songwriter, musician and creative mastermind behind the emerging songwriting and musical project Pink Honey Moan. And with Pink Honey Moan, Lindbloom frequently sees his work teetering between the dusty, folky and homespun songs of his early EPs, the electro surf rock and pop of his other project FISHDOCTOR, Swedish outfit Stargazy and Tredmills paired with direct, heartfelt lyricism.

Released earlier this year, “Bad Man,” the second single off Lindbloom’s forthcoming Pink Honey Moan album The Live Life Girl Will Arm You is a hook-driven and crafted bit of pop built around strummed acoustic guitar, atmospheric synths, twinkling keys, some soulful trumpet from French musician daoud, backing vocals from alt-pop artist Beeson paired with Lindbloom’s plaintive delivery, earnest, lived-in lyricism and knack for infectious hooks. Sonically, “Bad Man” brings to mind Danish JOVM mainstays Palace Winter and Montréal‘s Reno McCarthy with the song being a remarkable display of craft — without losing its earnestness.

“‘Bad Man’ isn’t so much about a nefarious character, as it is more akin to the sentiment ‘it’s bad, man,” Lindbloom explains. “You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it. I wanted it to sit at the intersection of Nick Cave x Elliott Smith x The Magnetic Fields during a scene in an episodic crime thriller like True Detective.”
