It follows their outstanding self-titled debut released back in 2018 when the world that surrounded the Brighton fourpiece looked and felt like a very different place.

For fierce frontwoman and album protagonist Izzy B. Phillips – it’s the most important message she could send to inspire her cult-like fanbase and fill the female-shaped gap that she felt so acutely when she was growing up and discovering rock music for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten throughout 2019 and recorded in fits and spurts between touring, \u003ci\u003eWritten and Directed\u003c\/i\u003e is drenched with a hedonistic, anything-goes attitude. It’s also the most full-throttle collection of music that Black Honey have ever-written – egged-on by their run of shows supporting long-term friends and collaborators Royal Blood. Exploring everything from womanhood, to identity and power, it’s an album that revels in the rich history of pop culture, throws a wink to its rock-and-roll heroes, but ultimately (and in true Black Honey fashion) it stands on its own two feet. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxfive Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50381796213067,"sku":"1103963","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red | LP","offer_id":50381795787083,"sku":"1117665-S","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50381796507979,"sku":"1103959","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/546a2298-6fba-414a-bd49-227ec4b4a4fb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726237070"},{"product_id":"black-honey-3","title":"Black Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissue of Black Honey’s self titled debut EP originally released in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.

Having spent the last four years perfecting the indie game, everything you think you know about them and their unique surrealist world is about to be wonderfully shaken up as they prepare to release their hugely anticipated debut album. With contradiction at every turn, it’s an album that celebrates being human, in all its different forms and by doing so, will touch the hearts of everyone that hears it. We’ve already heard \u003ci\u003eBad Friends\u003c\/i\u003e earlier this year, but with the exception of 2016’s \u003ci\u003eHello, Today\u003c\/i\u003e (the track that saw the band become a household name at Radio 1), and the 2017 closer \u003ci\u003eDig\u003c\/i\u003e, the album is made up of entirely new music with 9 brand new songs on offer. Album opener\u003ci\u003e I Only Hurts The Ones I Love\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating Garbage-flavoured meander that sets the tone for the record brilliantly. From there, there’s stone cold classic \u003ci\u003eWasting Time\u003c\/i\u003e, Lana Del Ray nodding slow-burner\u003ci\u003e Blue Romance \u003c\/i\u003eand disco-pop Trojan horse \u003ci\u003eMidnight\u003c\/i\u003e – to name just a few. However, across the entirety of the record, you can always feel the bare bones of front lady Izzy B Phillips diary scribbles are just around the corner as the varying tracks switch between chart-headed bangers and scuzzy, industrial David Lynch inspired strangeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s the weird and wonderful mind of Philipps - her lovable but villainous, Milky-Bar-kid- meets-Debbie Harry persona – that you find very much at the heart of \u003ci\u003eBlack Honey\u003c\/i\u003e. An open sufferer of both dyslexia and ADHD, she’s a huge advocate for self-expression without limit and has relied hugely on her band – Tom Dewhurst (drums), Tom Taylor (bass) and Chris Ostler (guitar) – to channel everything that comes from her obsessive and dizzyingly creative head and bottle it into music. The album as a result is ultimately a collage of chaos, shot straight at the heart – honest, inspiring and deeply infectious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Standrad 12 Track CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - Double CD Version with the 12 Track CD on CD one and a Bonus 9 Track CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - 12 Track Blue Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Limited Double Picture Disc with LP Two with 9 Bonus Tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxfive Records","offers":[{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50406908428619,"sku":"1040337","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50406908690763,"sku":"1040333","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50406909116747,"sku":"1040338","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7d82716b-d57e-4297-a3d2-b2b9e4b507ac_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726592246"},{"product_id":"enta-da-stage","title":"Enta Da Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003e2017 remaster.
