the sweet ambient guitar drones of 'Honey Rose' by RAMESES III emmit from the speakers. This is their debut for Important Records and one of a whole slew of releases on the label this week. The EP is the soundtrack to Jon Spira's short film Suityman. The sound is a deeply pleasant one. Subtle it's approach and warmer that a holiday in the Algarve wearing a big body warmer. The guitar playing is ever so sweet and the use of effects compliments it perfectly. Genuinely beautiful, haunting music that'll have you relaxing to the maximum.

What their label says...

Rameses III are architects of the most beautiful swathes of blissful ambience whose releases have previously found homes on labels like Celebrate Psi Phenomenon, Music Fellowship, Scarcelight, MYMWLY, Barl Fire and Type. On “Honey Rose”, the group’s first release for Important, the South London trio build a bucolic soundtrack to Jon Spira’s mysterious short film “Suityman”. Whilst the influence of Bruce Langhorne, Boxhead Ensemble and much of the 4AD roster can be keenly felt on this six song EP, so too can the wondrous drone narratives that are such a feature of Rameses III’s previous works. More structured and melodious then much of their output, “Honey Rose” is the perfect place for a newcomer to begin exploring the music of one of the finest purveyors of ambient drone operating in music today.
