Collections Of Colonies Of bees - Birds

In an era of pervasive lo-fi meandering and leaden, self-indulgent navel-gazing, Collections of Colonies of Bees sweep in grandly, as their name implies, in great, billowing swarms of sound, bourn aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant detail. In these extended instrumental tracks, guitars chime and soar, recalling the best campaigns of the guitar armies of both Glenn Branca and R hys Chatham; deft yet Intensely focused percussion propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil of subtly nuanced electronica. Birds is a joyous, expansive experience; crisp, clean, and clear; dappled in sunshine; mottled with dew; epic minimalism in exquisite registration. Thatís saying something. In our present musical climate of smoggy lassitude, Collections of Colonies of Bees are diligently producing a sound that is dazzling ñ and as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb. Dig in. "A fulfilling and well-rounded body of work." ó Vils M. DiSanto, incursion.org. "If you enjoy albums that are complex in nature, fairly abstract, and can be analyzed both thematically and musically, this should be right up your alley." ó Jeff C., adequacy.net. "An impeccable focus and flow, a well balanced mix between acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and a learned sense of time and space." ó Mark Weddle, brainwashed.com. "A pleasure to listen to, and eminently relistenable." ó Jeremy Keens, Ampersand Etcetera.
