Blood Orange - Essex Honey (CD) folk Heaven Is a Junkyard isCD RCA (2025) WW The new album is titled Essex Honey. It explores themes of family grief, England, and the healing, communal power of music throughout a lifetime.

Musically, this is reflected sonically through analog recordings, recurring cello motifs, nods to earlier Blood Orange projects, and various musical interpolations from Hynes' youth.
