Those psychedelic darlings of the A303, The Honey Pot, power into 2019 with their first album of all new material since 2016’s Inside The Whale. Bewildered Jane is their forth long-player, fifth if you include their recent compilation of rarities, and their third for Mega Dodo. Confused? Or should that be bewildered?
Produced by founding member Icarus Peel, Bewildered Jane sees The Honey Pot sound maturing. It’s richer and deeper, the harmonies lusher and the sound that little bit fuller. It’s as if the band has made a collective decision to ditch milk chocolate for a 100% cocoa dark variety. Bewildered Jane may be a tad darker than their previous long-players, but its core remains resolutely familiar.
Bewildered Jane is released on 29th March 2019 as a limited edition 180 gram black and white vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve (300 copies only). In addition, the first 99 copies bought through the Mega Dodo website come with a handwritten lyric sheet and live CD recorded at the Onboard The Craft festival. The CD features a bonus track, ‘Dust Drawn Maps’, and is released in a 6-panel lancing pack. The download will be available as a series of 0s and 1s from your favourite digital retailer.

PREVIOUS PRESS FOR THE POT
“The Honey Pot are taking the “Sound Of The Sixties”, retooling it so that is relevant today and in the process have made a really great psychedelic record that has now set the bar pretty high for the rest of the year.”

“A gorgeously affectionate slice of playfully purred sun parading 60’s lilt pop that arrives bathing your ear space in a woozy kaleidoscopic magicalia of lysergic bouquets and flowery twinkles all the time demurred and dinked in the kind of pristinely turned vintage craft that has you double checking to make sure its authorship isn’t the much missed Eleanor Rigby.”
