Honey Tongue
Biography
Sort of a one-off project, but then again sort of not, Honey Tongue was a duo consisting of two skilled musicians often overshadowed by their collaborators in other bands -- singer/guitarist/cellist Josephine Wiggs (the Perfect Disaster, the Breeders) and drummer Jon Mattock (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized). Wiggs first met Mattock during the latter days of Spacemen 3, when she added cello to tracks recorded but at the time unreleased from the Playing with Fire sessions. The two kept in touch as they continued their regular band work, Mattock (in what would be a familiar pattern for Spiritualized as a whole) finding himself twiddling his thumbs as Jason Pierce endlessly remixed and re-recorded Lazer Guided Melodies. With Mattock taking time off in early 1992 to join Wiggs in a Manchester studio with producer/engineer Audu Obaje, the two recorded and released Nude Nudes, a fine album that gave Wiggs her first lead turn throughout a record. Honey Tongue never released another album under that name, but the same exact team, including Obaje, reunited as the Josephine Wiggs Experience to create Bon Bon Lifestyle. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi
