Bees

13 indie pop songs from the lives of bees, performed by humans playing acoustic guitars, drums, bass, theremin, accordion, and vocal cords.

"The Commune" introduces the life and jobs of a worker bee. Insects in general do not sleep in the sense that people do. "Vulcha Beesting" is one human’s perspective. Yes, I was thinking of the Pixies "Subbaculcha." "Bee B Movie" is a plot summary of “Invasion of the Bee Girls” from 1973. "Robber Bee" is sung by the guard bees of one hive to attacking desperados from another. This kind of crime really happens! "Kaibob" is about bees in the Grand Canyon, where the Kaibob National Forest is. I have read that bees like to fly from A to B as close to the ground as possible. Therefore in the Grand Canyon, or "upside-down mountain," they would have to really get down. "Melissa" is the story of young Zeus, raised and protected from his father Chronos by Melissa, a beekeeping shepherd on the island of Crete. "100 Flowers" is the inevitable innuendo song. When I was a kid I was impressed by how a bumblebee might bend a flower nearly to the ground when landing on it. "Funny Motherfucker" is a song of mourning for several workers. "Windowsill" is the story of a worker’s brush with death. It has a happy ending. "The Swarm" conveys a little of how bee nations move. "Exile of the Drones" describes the useless male bees being driven from the hive to die in the fall. "Cold House" was written by Dan and recorded in glorious mono in one take. "Honey" is not really about honey. Or is it?
