Sailor Honeymoon are back, and they’ve got something to say. The Seoul-based punk trio have dropped their sharp-tongued new single ‘Armchair’, and it’s a rallying cry against complacency and condescension.
Fresh off a whirlwind year that included sets at Primavera Sound and Best Kept Secret, plus a nod on NME’s 100 Artists to Watch in 2025, the all-woman band bring their trademark fire and fuzz to a track that’s equal parts punchy and pointed.
With snarling guitars, unrelenting rhythm, and lyrics that sneer at passive power players, ‘Armchair’ throws shade at those who “sit back and tell you what to do.” It’s produced by Luke Smith (Foals, Depeche Mode) and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Parquet Courts), and it marks the first taste of the band’s highly anticipated debut album, coming in 2026.
Sailor Honeymoon — made up of Abi Raymaker, Zaeeun Shin, and Yelim Kim — first formed from a spontaneous jam session and have since become one of Korea’s most exciting punk exports, known for their distorted live sound, inclusive ethos, and feminist spirit.
