London dreampop quartet Just Like Honey return with “Laugh About It,” a tender, slow-burning track that glows with the emotional subtlety the band has become known for. True to their signature blend of cinematic warmth and hazy melancholy, the song feels like an exhale you didn’t know you were holding, soft at first, then quietly devastating.
Frontwoman Emily steers the track with a vocal performance that feels suspended between confession and restraint. Her delivery is intimate yet weighted, as if every line carries something she hasn’t quite said aloud. Wrapped in gauzy guitars and a woozy, slow-moving pulse, “Laugh About It” inhabits the space between shoegaze dreaminess and grunge-tinted vulnerability. It’s lush without being overwhelming, raw without losing its shimmer.
Lyrically, the band sits with the familiar act of disguising internal turbulence—those days when we smile, joke, and keep going even as something trembles just beneath the surface. “It’s a bittersweet anthem for the beautifully broken,” the band explains, and the sentiment lands. The song doesn’t dramatize emotional struggle; instead, it floats in it, gentle and unafraid.
Its evolution mirrors its emotional core. Born as a stripped-back acoustic idea, the track lived many lives before reaching its final form during a session in Somerset with producer Pete Robertson. That journey shows—there’s a sense of lived-in memory here, a feeling of something refined slowly, patiently, until it clicked into place. The finished piece feels both intimate and widescreen, like the soundtrack to a moment you’ve had but never fully articulated.
“Laugh About It” is the kind of song that lingers long after its final chord, warm and wistful like late-afternoon light. Just Like Honey aren’t simply making dream-pop, they’re crafting emotional refuges. And this track, in all its soft ache and quiet beauty, is one of their most affecting yet.
