“Horsemen”
from the album Free the Bees
2005
iTunes
Having already scored a success with first album Sunshine Hit Me (2002), the Bees have returned with an album that outstrips its predecessor on every level.
Free the Bees contains twelve classic pop moments that appear to have been lifted straight from the backcatalogue of some long lost band of the ’60s.
From the gorgeous Beta Band-ish “Wash in the Rain,” 1970s rock fused “Horsemen,“ and the warped funk of “Chicken Payback” through to the jazzy “I Love You” and jaunty “Go Karts,” Free the Bees delivers killer after killer.
A sublime return from one of Britain’s finest young bands and proof that you don’t have to come from the coolest background to make the best music.
