FROM LECH WIERZYNSKI:
This record is all about love and good lovin’ and other things that matter more than the dumb shit on your telephone. Make sure you love up on the people you love. Sing, Dance, Make love, and enjoy the beauty of your time in this world full of wonders.

FROM BENJAMIN MALAMENT:
The first thing many people say to us after watching the band perform on stage is “Man, you all LOVE to play together!”. That’s why ’Soft Spot’ is such an important album because we didn’t get to play and hunker down as a full band like this for almost two years! After a few of us recorded the ‘Covers from the Cave’ album, strictly from home for our quarantined fans, it was a pleasure and privilege to let loose all together in the beautiful Oakland studio, bouncing off each other with creativity, jokes, and sweat, with Thai food and donuts, day after day, night after night. The music on ‘Soft Spot’ speaks that joy and diligence. Sometimes we recorded when we were hella sick or had pulled back muscles (getting older is tough!). Sometimes we recorded on our birthdays and had cake next to the mics. When you get good sounds, you can’t stop! And all the sounds we were getting were good. Really good. And that’s when the recording is easy.
We continued the Honeydrops album tradition of bringing many special musical guests to bless the studio with their magic. Sousaphones, strings, space echoes, it’s all here.

Our engineer, Jacob LaCally’s, aka ‘Cubby's', fine ears and maybe finer patience kept the session rolling through the hours. Leon Cotter and Scott Messersmith have become staples of the Honeydrop sound, filling the room with the full band sensation we could lean back on.
We enlisted the Kid Wonder and Oakland native, Oliver Tuttle, with his beautiful energy and ideas. The 'Ponchatoula Powerhouse, Miles Lyons, dropping in from Louisiana to add a whole new low end to our music!

And the core Drops were in full form:
Beaumont displaying what a badass drummer he is.
Yanos’s arranging prowess, giving you those luscious horns and melodic movement!
Lorenzo’s multi-instrumental spirit and soul just shining so bright. Lolo!
Benjamin’s feel and groove to keep that sweet Honeydrop flavor dripping into your heart.
And Lech, knocking it out the damn park once again, with his legendary voice, and endless song-writing visions.

This album has our unique Honeydrop take on many styles of music, all under a cohesive production style so there’s no confusion. There’s no provin’. Only groovin’. ’Soft Spot’ is a special one. We can’t tell you how happy we are to have made it and to give you these new songs. No more talkin’! Please listen & enjoy!

All our love - The Drops
