Milk & Honey

Beatsteaks have been making the kind of rock that doesn’t apologize for itself since the ’90s. They’re from Berlin, they’re competent in a way that feels earned rather than studied, and they’ve never been interested in trends or drama. Milk & Honey is just them doing what they do—straightforward songs built to last, the kind of album that doesn’t demand anything from you but rewards paying attention anyway.
