Spirit of the Beehive prep new LP (watch the “d.o.u.b.l.e.u.r.o.n.g.” video)
Spirit of the Beehive are releasing a new album, Hypnic Jerks, on September 14 via Tiny Engines (pre-order), and we're premiering the new song "d.o.u.b.l.e.u.r.o.n.g." along with its video. Like past SOTB stuff, the song has hints of music you're familiar with, but the band brings those sounds together in a way that feels new. There's some lo-fi bedroom pop, some post-rock, some Beatlesque psychedelia, and more in this hazy, atmospheric song, and it's good stuff. Check it out, along with previous single "can i receive the contract?", below.
As mentioned, Spirit of the Beehive are touring with post-hardcore-ish indie rockers Pile (good double bill), including Brooklyn shows on 10/19 & 10/20 at Saint Vitus (tickets). All dates are listed below.
Speaking of, Pile are releasing an odds and ends compilation called Odds and Ends on September 7 via Exploding In Sound, and you can stream "Cup" from that below.
