David West (Perth, Australia) has been making music for nearly 20 years. He's been so prolific that I don't think Discogs has even kept up with all the music he's made. He's been a solo artist and in bands: Rat Columns, Rank/Xerox, Total Control, Lace Curtain, Scythe and many more.
In 2025, right under my nose, he and fellow Aussie Chris Shoulder released "Glazed & Glistening" under the moniker Bees Make Honey. Not surprisingly, Mikey Young mastered this. If you're familiar with the work of David West, Bees Make Honey doesn't sound too far off that sound. But his collaboration with Chris Shoulder does have a bit more garage rock sound - think Gentleman Jesse or The Wind-Ups.
This is currently only available on cassette in Australia. It's released on ROS Records.
