Description

Blood Orange – Essex Honey
Format: 2xLP Vinyl,

Essex Honey is the deeply personal new album from Dev Hynes, exploring themes of family grief, English identity, and the healing, communal power of music. Written in the hazy aftermath of loss, the album unfolds like a diary—intimate yet universally resonant.

Musically, Essex Honey draws from the analog warmth of earlier Blood Orange projects, layered with recurring cello motifs, punk-distorted acoustic guitars, and melodic textures inspired by Hynes’ youth in Essex. The result is a dreamlike sonic landscape where memory and emotion blur.

Featuring an impressive range of collaborators—The Durutti Column, Mustafa, Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Lorde, Zadie Smith, Tirzah, Brendan Yates (Turnstile), and Mabe Fratti—Essex Honey is both expansive and introspective.

Self-produced and mixed by Dev Hynes with Mikaelin “Blue” Bluespruce, and mastered by Heba Kadry.

Please Note: This album is intended to be played at 45 RPM for optimal sound quality.
