    The people have spoken! With the revelatory new discovery of these original "lost" mixes of Honey and Poison, numerous people have written with the opinion that these mixes are indeed objectively "better" than the version that was initially released in 2018.

    From this day forward, CD sales of the "other" version will be discontinued and in its place this "RAW" version will be offered as the "official" version and truest to the original intent of the album in the first place.

    As the download is currently "free/pay what you want"obviously you can download it, burn your own CD and make a photocopied cover. But if you order from me, it's just one more way you can show your support for what I do. I will send you a high quality CDR with a photocopied color cover AND a beautiful 11x17 poster of the cover art, along with a random surprise that will be different in every package.

    THANK YOU
    ps International orders will get a little "extra" stuff in the package because shipping is such a pain, you might as well get rewarded with a surprise.

about

For me, HONEY AND POISON represents the peak of my mid-2010s songwriting craft with the ensemble known as Malaikat dan Singa (Angels and Lions). The album was recorded on a Tascam 388 eight track at the Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington throughout 2014 until 2017 and was finally mixed, mastered and released through Bandcamp in 2018. We very recently made the discovery of the original in-board "rough" mixes that were made before the songs were mixed digitally. There are no out-board effects of any kind used in these mixes, all EQ was achieved directly in the Tascam 388 which imparts a very unique sound quality that I like to call the RAW HONEY MIX. There is a very different spatial feeling communicated in these mixes, yes, it's raw but also extremely focused with no filler audio "trickery".

I know a lot of you have already paid good money to get a download of the "Honey and Poison" album. You should feel completely empowered to help yourself to a free download of this version so that you can compare them back to back, and hopefully let me know which you prefer. We're hoping to FINALLY get this issued as a vinyl LP sometime in 2021 or early 2022, and we have the opportunity to choose from which version of the album we would prefer to master the laquers. So...let me know what you think, ok?

As an extra bonus, I've added a couple instrumental tunes from the same sessions that were not available before, and when you download the full album you also get a bonus live album recorded at the Hobbit House sometime in 2018 in Olympia, Washington.
