Royal Oakie Records showcase featuring performances from Eric Silverman, Sam Plecker, and Abbey Blackwell

Bitter Honey is the new album by Eric Silverman, releasing May 29th 2026 on Royal Oakie Records. Produced in collaboration with Damien Lewis, the album finds Silverman leaving behind the acid-fried desert rock of 2023’s Stay In It for something far more lush and expansive–a collection of ten psychedelic rock, pop, and folk tracks inspired by Peter Gabriel, John Cale, and Jeff Tweedy. Fittingly, the album is named after the “mad honey” of the rhododendron flower, a rare and potent hallucinogenic found high in the Himalayas.
