SHE KEEPS BEES<\/a><\/strong> has this amazing talent to churn out the rawest, grittiest, get-to-the-point songs out there right now. With the help of Andy LaPlant on drums, Jessica Larrabee is the fiery force behind this righteous band that melds that renewed soul of Cat Power and the blues of The Black Keys. With lyrics such as \u201cWork me like my back ain\u2019t got no bone,\u201d in their addictive song, \u201cGimme,\u201d this band is far beyond flashy or superfluous. Larabee\u2019s vocals speak for themselves in sparse arrangements that immediately satiate your hunger for the \u201cgood stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Formed in 2006, Brooklyn’s She Keeps Bees<\/a> are a couple\/band you WON’T want to slap the crap out of. Their music is bluesy, but not what you’re thinking. Jessica sings ’til her stomach hurts while Andy holds down the rhythm – lumberjack style.<\/p>\n The music is simple, gritty and downright sexy.. Howlin’ Wolf and Millie Jackson to start, but you’ll probably hear PJ Harvey in there too.<\/p>\n This homemade recording keeps it real simple: drums, guitar and little else. Recorded over the course of 2008, eMusic hailed Nests as “absolutely astonishing… every song is great.” Other Music NYC described Nests as “packed with straightforward, rocking electric guitar…a shoo-in for one of the new music highlights of the year.”<\/p>\n \u2018With their primal thumping and hollering, this boy-girl duo make a raunchy racket with their rough-and-ready blues-rock\u2019<\/em> \u2013 The Guardian \u2018Band Of The Day\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018A Sultry mix of shuffling rhythms, dark, bluesy riffs and melodies that are simples aching with longing<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 NME<\/p>\n \u2018She keeps bees might be just the kind of sting you\u2019re after\u2019<\/em> – Kruger<\/p>\n \u2018Stripped-to-the-bone and down-durdy chunk of blues-splashed, garaged-reared rock n soul\u2019<\/em> \u2013 Time Out<\/p>\n The three classical guitarists who make up TWI THE HUMBLE FEATHER<\/a><\/strong>, based in Brooklyn, include their unconventional tuning in the credits of their debut EP, \u201cMusic for Spaceships and Forests\u201d (Friendly Ghost). Such music geekery suits a band that builds its songs out of repeated chords and picking patterns that are staggered among the three guitars, along with mouth-percussion noises, falsetto vocals and stray sounds like bird calls and electronic swoops. Precise and ethereal, the music ends up in a peculiar place, somewhere in the midst of math, meditation and the singsong of a child making up a new myth.
