Honey Oat´s eponymous debut album out now

21 March 2019

Gabe Stout and Janak JP, who make up Honey Oat, released their eponymous debut album last week.  An album of ebulient and exciting compositions in the realms of jazz and funk, it “renders time wavering and unpredictable”, as the press release describes. “The music sits still as much as it departs in oneiric spirals. Against the current of social media and its loops of endless replayability, Honey Oat’s music sits with hyperlocal remembrance, spontaneity.”

For a taster of the record, take a listen to their lead single ‘A Stranger Spring’.
