Spirit of the Beehive - Entertainment, Death Record 2021 Rare Red Colored Vinyl
This is a rare limited blood red colored vinyl and also includes digital download
New Sealed Spirit of the Beehive's
fourth album and Saddle Creek debut, Entertainment, Death
signals new chapters for the band on multiple fronts, being the first to feature their new three-piece lineup, as well as the first to be entirely self-recorded and produced. Guitarist/vocalist Zack Schwartz and bassist/vocalist Rivka Ravede are now joined by new member Corey Wichlin, a multi-instrumentalist who relocated from Chicago to the band's home territory of Philadelphia. In the spring of 2020, the trio began to write their new album at a distance by emailing files back and forth. "The process of making this album was basically the exact opposite of our experience creating Hypnic Jerks," Schwartz explains. "We had to record that in seven days, because that was the studio time we had, whereas Entertainment, Death was made over the course of three, four months."
An abundance of time wasn't the only difference. Recording remotely offered the band an incentive to experiment with new possibilities for their sound, resulting in an album that is unlike any Spirit of the Beehive
has released before. Once the band finished recording and mixing the album digitally, they mastered it to tape, lending the collection a textured, dimensional quality. "We knew we wanted to use some new instrumental elements on this album," Wichlin says. "We're not going fully electronic," Schwartz adds, "But guitar, bass, drums just get kind of monotonous."
Though Entertainment, Death
doesn't cohere in a single, unifying theme, the band samples old obscure commercials throughout, many of which guided the process of writing a song instead of serving as an appendage. Schwartz describes his songwriting process as a stream-of-consciousness, while Ravede asserts that she doesn't typically write vocal parts with any specific intention in mind. "When I write, the narrative usually doesn't present itself until after the song is done. And even then, it depends on how the listener interprets the words," she reflects. Regardless of how dreamlike Spirit of the Beehive's
lyrics can be, reality rears its head throughout Entertainment, Death
.
The album isn't a metamorphosis, it's simply the newest iteration of a longstanding project. "There's a line in the Bee Gees documentary that I think applies to us. I'll paraphrase: ‘We may not have always connected, but we always stuck around,'" Ravede says. Schwartz jumps in, "Spirit of the Beehive: we're still here."Entertainment There's Nothing You Can't Do Wrong Circle Bad Son Give Up Your Life Rapid & Complete Recovery The Server Is Immersed It Might Take Some Time Wake Up (In Rotation) I Suck the Devil's Cock Death
