Wax Future and Beard-o-Bees (Jesse Miller of Lotus) have teamed up to form BeesWax. Royal Jelly is the group's debut full length album and follows a self-titled EP.

“The recording process started by tracking drums to an 80's tape machine using only two microphones. From these tape reels I made a set of loops that sounded super saturated, vintage and gritty. The idea was to have these amazing sounding drum breaks that weren't sampled, but uniquely created for the project.” - Jesse Miller

The album moves into sonic territory that expands beyond the collaborators previous works with elements of electronica, pop, funk, post-rock instrumentals and synth music. Album guests include Moon Hooch, who ramp up the vintage funk with their saxophones on “Back to Class”. ZONE Drums and Chris Wood (Grimace Federation) both played drums on the tape reel sessions. Fans of Four Tet, Tycho, Caribou, SAULT and even The Black Keys will find a sonic home on BeesWax's Royal Jelly.
