"In summary? Summery" Nice. Ignore his dis of "No Trophy" tho, it rocks and is an album highlight.

But JESUS H. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!My faith in current U.K. music has completely been restored. This is so ridiculously miraculously unbelievably good, it's almost painful.More inventive even than the Betas. Gorgeous gorgeous piano, jazzy reggae tinged, folky psychedelica. Honestly I haven't heard anything this good out of the U.K. for several years. Makes me wish I was beside the ocean, it's so easy, like an aimless stroll along the sand.

They've got a mix CD coming out on Tirk April 21st. There's a streaming promo mix I can't get to work:

I have to admit I'm a lot more excited about this than I was about their last album proper; it seemed like they lost their way a little with Free the Bees and I never got around to picking up Octopus.

There was a recent article on The Bees in the NME that's made me very excited for new material. They've apparently been spending a lot of time tripping out with Devandra Banhart. Free The Bees is on loud in my sunny kitchen and it's without doubt one of the best British rock albums I bought last decade.

so Free the Bees is one of my favorite albums but just heard the new album today and was very disappointed. they seem to be getting worse and worse with each new release as their sound gets more focused -- FTB is obviously coming from the same place but the sound was bouncy and eclectic. Octupus had a couple good tracks but on the whole was much more languid and drawn-out to poor effect and the new one is nearly all hippy dippy psychy slow shit. I blame Devendra.
am I missing something?
