Bee Thousand

Twenty tracks of fragmented power-pop genius recorded on four-track tape. A collage of British Invasion hooks, basement grit, and surrealist midwestern poetry.

It's like a lost Beatles record found in a shoebox in a dusty Ohio basement.

A joyful, beer-fueled celebration of amateurism that somehow produces world-class pop melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring guitar dropout in Hardcore UFO's that makes you check your cables.
The transition from the fragile acoustic strumming of Awful Bliss into the driving garage rock of Mincer Ray.
The way the soaring, anthemic melody of I Am a Scientist emerges from the surrounding tape hiss like a diamond in the rough.
