A self-trained singer and mulit-instrumentalist from a small-town in Sacremento, Sea Of Bees is Julie Ann Baenziger, – Jules to her friends. She is an exquisite talent, as the Guardian suggests; “imagine a shyer Cat Power with a tale to tell”. Her debut album ‘Songs For The Ravens’ is released on the 7th of February, with the lead single ‘Wizbot’ following a week later on the 14th of February.
“Wizbot” has a heartbreaking tale to tell, centered around a friend who told another friend that he loved her (“you read my soul, I breathe you in, as I lie still”), only for her to tell him she didn't share his feelings. Inspired by listening to the melody from a1960s film adaptation of ‘Romeo & Juliet, Sea Of Bees startlingly unique voice soars and sweeps over a gently rocking lament. Starting softly acoustic, layered harmonies build to a swirling, powerful and wistful conclusion.
‘Songs For The Ravens’ will introduce people to Sea Of Bees greatness. It is an album influenced by rebels, nomads and the beloved people in Jules’ life. Short stories, films, even colours and shapes help richly weave ‘Songs For The Ravens’ into the epically beautiful and deeply personal piece of work it is. It is full of songs Jules wrote when she was emerging from her chrysalis, the work of someone who wanted to put her entire life on record. As she made it, she even learned to play the marimba, the glockenspiel and the slide guitar.
To accompany the release of “Wizbot', Conquering Animal Sounds have taken the original, warping and filtering it into something dark and surreal and completely different!
