Black Honey by Strangejuice
On September 1st 2016 Strangejuice embarked on a 5 day lock-in in his home studio, mattress on the floor, piano and guitars tuned roughly to concert pitch, in an experiment to write and record as many songs in 5 days without seeing daylight. Not sleeping for more than an hour or two at a time, without time to wait for inspiration, 21 songs were written, recorded and produced inside the closed blinds.
Songs about mermaids, transporting across the globe in the stomach of a whale, The ghosts of flying fish, A Satanic dinner party, kidnapped children, alcoholism, bushfires, Platos philosophy of time. The album begins in beauty and descends into hell.
Recorded September 1st to September 5th in Perth, Western Australia
