The Honey Pot are another new group who wear the psych-pop influences on their sleeve but like many albums from the sixties it has a wide range of styles. Album opener for example, “To The Edge of The World” is West Country Brits play West Coast USA a la early Fairport Convention with male and female vocals intertwining.
My favourite element is the toy town victoriana that the group successfully embody; from “Comfys Honey Jar” and “Florence”. The wonderful pastoral psychedelic “Paper Garden” echoes Vashti Bunyan and the acoustic “Love Is Green” share a Billy Nicholls sensibility.

Finishing with the darker “Sweet Orange Sunshine”, like a stripped back Al Stewart’s Turn To Earth, The Honey Pot leave the listener wanting more:
