Brokedown
In this episode of The Beeswax, the boys sit down with Scott McDowell, the engineer who runs Studio C at San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios. Scott, who ran the Brokedown sessions, shares his stories of working with the Drops, and just how many weird sounds got mixed into what may be the quintessential Honeydrops anthem.
Those Days
On this very special episode, The Beeswax welcomes The Honeydrops' sultan of sax himself, Mr. Johnny Bones, onto the show. Today the boys are talking about Those days, a single off The California Honeydrops' 2018 album, Call It Home. With Johnny as the special guest, this rather involved podcast explores the rather involved process of writing and arranging what just may be the band's most ambitious piece to date.
When It Was Wrong
On The Beeswax this week, the boys discuss the story behind the making of the band's most popular song (at least, according to Spotify's numbers). This episode charts the many iterations that have made up the song's evolution, as well as a special Lech confession about which version is his favorite. Results may surprise you.
In My Baby’s Arms
In this third episode of the sweetwax saga, the boys break down the making of a song that was featured on the band’s 2018 album, Call It Home. From mermaid dreams to Tolkien metaphors, this chapter explores the process that Lech, Jacob, and the rest of the Honeydrops took in writing and recording such a singular synthesis of sound.
Pocket Chicken
In this second installment of The Bee’s Wax, the boys dive into the story of how one man’s impromptu poultry tradition at a ski resort evolved into a funky new groove featured on the band’s latest album.
In The Air
In the maiden voyage of this new music podcast, Hobart Owen sits down with Honeydrops’ frontman Lech Weirzynksi and engineer Jacob Lacally to discuss the process behind the making of the band’s recent release. The boys talk about Lech’s inspiration from the world of dreams, the struggles inherent in the creative process, and the many moving parts that have to come together to make a viable Honeydrops track.
