Honeymooners is the solo project of Eli Smith (previously of Wasted Islands and Lost Spirit).
The project started in May of 2012 when he was 16. It began as a solo, acoustic project and has gradually amassed different musical layers since, currently residing at the intersection of experimental music/sound art and more conventionally structured songs. He released his first EP, called Sleepwalking, in August of 2013, a release informed equally by folk/acoustic music and ambient music, and released his first full length album, called Night Beach, in August of 2016, featuring a traditional guitar/bass/drums setup augmented by extensive loops, samples, and field recordings. Smith is currently working on writing the next Honeymooners full-length, likely due for release sometime in 2017.
