Blood Orange's new album is called Essex Honey. It explores themes of family grief, England, and the healing, unifying power of music throughout life.
Lyrically, the album is diary-like, but at the same time universal, existing in the fog of memories that often follow loss.
Musically, this is reflected in analogue recordings, recurring cello motifs, references to Blood Orange's early projects and various musical interpolations from Hynes' youth. Sonically, the album features a variety of arrangements and instruments, such as acoustic guitar with punk distortion and melodic, ethereal tones that were woven into his childhood dreams as he grew up in Essex, imagining his future.
