Collections of Colonies of Bees sweep in grandly, in billowing swarms of sound, bourn aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant detail. Guitars chime and soar; deft yet intensely focused percussion propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil of subtly nuanced electronica. Their CD Birds is joyous, epic minimalism in exquisite registration, a sound that is dazzling and as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb.

VINYL FORMAT. Table of the Elements celebrates its 15th anniversary with the debut disk in its Guitar Series Vols. 3 & 4. It's a 12-volume romp of deviant fretnoise by some of experimental music's most prominent players, including Christian Fennesz, Thurston Moore, and Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley. Collections of Colonies of Bees generated quite the (forgive us) buzz, following the January release of their CD Birds, and deservedly so.

Aloha  Here Comes Everyone, chin up chin up  We Should Never Have Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers, Bright Eyes  Lua

Über-limited archival release of their 1998 album, recorded by the core duo of Pele's Chris Roseneau and Jon Mueller. A haunting work, centered on only lap steel and vocals and recorded live in a room in an abandoned warehouse, it is their most intimate and melancholic moment.

One track, that's all they need. OK, so the track clocks in at 33 minutes, but still. Hot on the heels of 2002's "fa.ce (a" and 2003's "Meyou," this record shows a group that's constantly evolving. This time around, founding members Chris Rosenau (guitars) and Jon Mueller (drums and percussion) added laptop-fondler Jon Minor to enrich the sound. "Stuck" ranges from sparse sounds to full-on damnation, proving that these kings of Milwaukee can do no wrong. Between the recording and the release of this record,   [ read more ]
