Honey Radar's brand of fractured pop that runs through a filter of timeless psychedelia, dusty Baroque sounds from the '60s, and rambling indie rock is well represented on this collection of songs recorded during the three-year span the Philadelphia group were making records for Chunklet Industries. Included on Sing the Snow Away: The Chunklet Years are the three singles they released between 2015 and 2018, a smattering of songs from split singles, and some previously unreleased tracks, including a batch of live radio sessions that show how Honey Radar were a functioning live band at the time and not just a one-man, lo-fi concoction whipped up by the group's leader, Jason Henn. The singles are definitely fidelity challenged, especially on the Giraffe single where the songs sound like they were recorded through the slowly whirring blades of a box fan on a low setting. The random hissing, weird levels, seemingly tossed-off vocals, and abrupt stops and starts are all part of what make the band's records so entrancing. That being said, Honey Radar are also capable of stripping away the nonsense and rocking out convincingly, too. Their raging cover of Monkees obscurity "Wind-Up Man" has the raw energy of a Wipers track, "Telephone Betty's Aneurysm" is one of the band's most immediate songs, right up the with the Moles at their best, and the brilliantly titled "The Calvin Coolidge Clarion" is queasy neo-psych that would have been an underground hit during the paisley underground era. Songs like "Knocked Out" and "United Fox" have a convincing strut underpinning the clanging guitars, enough that one gets the sense the group could play things straight and get away with it. They never do, though, and this insistence of burying the music in scratches, hums, and scuffs only serves to make the sparkling melodies, sneaky hooks, and snaking guitar lines stand out all the more. Plus, any band who can take on the Fall and wrestle them to a draw is worth their weight in vinyl. Check out their muddled take on "Middle Class Revolt" or the scathing run through "Prole Art Threat" for that. Sing the Snow Away: The Chunklet Years catches Honey Radar at peak operating conditions, cranking out bracing off-kilter guitar pop nuggets one after another. Fans of the band would have had to really be on their toes to track all these songs and records down originally, so it's nice of Chunklet to gather them all up in one place for easy access.
