She Keeps Bees have posted a short video teaser for their new album ‘Eight Houses‘ ahead of its release on September 16th which can be seen below.
“Let the toxic mimics roll off us all,” says the band’s Jessica Larrabee. “Let the power of your truest self rest in your heart. Draw strength from below your navel – a place where there is no fear. Honor the gravity of the emotion but do not be consumed.”
Live4ever last encountered the duo on the final day of the 2011 Leeds Festival. “Around midday, She Keeps Bees swelled an almost deserted Festival Republic Stage to a more than respectable number by the end of an excellent display of their stripped back blues,” our review reads.
“The Brooklyn band, officially a duo but expanded to a trio for the majority of today’s set, are a perfect option for early lunchtime on the Sunday of a festival; very little sticks around for more than three minutes, and all are packed with chord-led, groove-heavy hooks which comfortably retain attention without too much effort.
“The slow pace of tracks such as ‘Farmer’ fittingly sound like a trudge through mud, and call to mind ’Do’, ’A Boy’s Best Friend’ and other early White Stripes efforts, of which those comparisons have been many.”
