I can hear it now… “You just heard Collections of Colobees… wait, Colonies of Bees Collec… wait, wow I really suck at the radio.” Well, get used to it, because though the band has a decisively hard name to announce, they have a very creative and progressive sound. Recorded by a full band in the studio, C of C of B developed “different versions” of the material using electronic manipulation. The end result is a very abstract and complex album whose beauty comes from the use of musical bits and pieces along with the strategic placement of silence. There is strong emphasis on the relationship between space and time, not to mention acoustic and electronic. Word to Polyvinyl for releasing this album, a spectacular debut of bedroom electronica.
