Information/Write-up
Honeymoon Suite is the debut album by Canadian rock band Honeymoon Suite, released in 1984 on Warner Bros. Records. In 1990 it was certified Triple Platinum in Canada (in excess of 300,000 copies sold). All four singles - "New Girl Now", "Burning in Love", "Wave Babies" and "Stay in the Light" - were also certified Gold in Canada.
We recorded this record in about 2 weeks at Phase One Studios in Toronto on a small budget. We were so stoked to be in the studio making our first record, and you can feel that energy on this album. The songs are fresh and basic. Everything done on 2 inch, 24 track tape, and has that great analog warmth to the sound. We took the tapes to Farmyard Studio in England to be mixed, and the result was fantastic. The album was a hit right out of the box…..things happened very quickly after that.
