Preeminent whistler Molly Lewis shares the second single “Cabana de Mel” off her upcoming sophomore EP, “Mirage,” out September 16th via Jagjaguwar.
The campy, aquatic video for “Cabana de Mel” was shot on Super 16 and directed by Kristofski. A Bond-themed underwater adventure, complete with nautical scuba scenes, a villain played by Sean Nicholas Savage and a ticking time bomb.
“In the small town in Australia where I’m from, there are handmade signs every now and then along the tropical roadsides that say, “Honey Hut”. This is where you can leave some money in a can and pick up a jar of fresh honey from local farmers. I always liked the thought of these little honey hunts. Rogê started playing Bossa Nova guitar one day and I asked him if he could make it like a mysterious Bond theme. I was listening to this guitar one night while back home in my small town, eating fresh honey, when this melody came floating over to me. "Cabana de Mel" is “Honey Hut” in Portuguese, a mixture of me and Rogê and our worlds coming together.” - Molly Lewis
