London-based dreampop outfit Just Like Honey return with “Laugh about it”, a hazy, slow-burning reflection on the quiet emotional storms we learn to disguise. Known for their lush, cinematic soundscapes and melancholic warmth, the band once again weaves the intimate and the immense into something deeply felt and beautifully fragile.
Fronted by Emily, whose vocal delivery feels equal parts gentle confession and unspoken ache, Just Like Honey crafts music that shimmers in soft focus. “Laugh about it” sits comfortably in the sweet spot between shoegaze haze, grunge grit, and dreamy pop glow, a track that seems to float even as it hits somewhere deep in the chest.
Anchored by swirling guitars and a soft, smouldering emotional pulse, the song explores the way we often move through life smiling on top of anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty.
“Laugh about it’ floats like a daydream underwater, nostalgic and vulnerable,” says the band. “It’s about keeping up the façade when everything shakes beneath the surface. It’s a bittersweet anthem for the beautifully broken, for anyone who’s ever faked being okay.”
The track began simply, just Emily and an acoustic guitar, lived in different arrangements across different bands, and finally found its full shape during a trip to Somerset to work with producer Pete Robertson. The result is both intimate and expansive, familiar yet new, like remembering a memory you aren’t entirely sure you lived.
With “Laugh about it”, Just Like Honey continues to chart their own quiet, radiant path, one that invites listeners not to escape their feelings, but to sit with them gently. It’s a song that lingers long after it fades out, settling like sunlight through sheer curtains: warm, wistful, and honest.
