About Honeybus

British pop group Honeybus were active in the late '60s and early '70s, and their best-known material found an intersection between the gentle psychedelia of Rubber Soul-era Beatles and the ornate baroque pop of bands like the Left Banke or the earliest phases of the Bee Gees. They had a huge hit with 1968's "I Can't Let Maggie Go," but lineup changes seriously disrupted Honeybus' progress at every turn and they broke up for good by 1973. Multiple anthologies and reissues bubbled up as the years went on, and in 2023 Under the Silent Tree: Gentle Sounds with Strings and Things collected all known recordings of the group's BBC sessions, including an album's worth of songs that never made it onto studio albums.
