Sasami: ‘Honeycrash’

Leave it to Sasami – who you may know originally as part of the KCRW-honoring LA band Cherry Glazerr – to share laser-focused insight when asked about her song “Honeycrash”: “I wanted to write a song with all the drama of a 19th century classical opera but with the patience and understanding of someone in therapy in 2024,” SASAMI explains. “Finding a love so great you're willing to persist through the elements, even toward certain death to bear its ravishment. It's about wanting to fight for the pinnacle of passion and desire but knowing that you can’t change or rush someone else’s feelings or where they're at. But with a guitar as my sword and my steed.”
