introvertthe call of baba yaga – honeybones
The verdict
“honeybones conjure dark ritual magic on 'the call of baba yaga', a hypnotic downtempo and art rock blend”
'the call of baba yaga' opens with a slow, deliberate pulse, building into something vast and witchy. the track draws on the baba yaga archetype, that slavic figure of wild feminine power, and translates her into layers of electronic texture and brooding rock weight. there's a ritualistic quality to how the elements stack, synths circling like incantations while the wonderfully slow rhythm holds steady underneath. melinda joy's vocals sit low in the mix, threading through rather than dominating, and it's your perfect track to keep the halloween vibes going. a genuinely atmospheric piece of work, dense and compelling.
honeybones are a new electronic duo formed by melinda joy and juro kosec, working between austin, mexico and akureyri, iceland. melinda is a multi-award-winning musician, author and filmmaker whose solo work has been described as southern gothic, all soulful bass lines and poetic lyrics. juro is a musician, filmmaker and photographer originally from slovakia, now based in iceland, drawn to analog warmth and electronic pulse. this is their second single together, and it's a collaboration that already feels locked in.
