Essentials

“Dream of Bees” is the first single from Lilies on Mars’ full-length Dot to Dot, to be given worldwide release early next year on Saint Marie Records. Previous recordings by the London-based, Sardinian multi-instrumentalists Lisa Masia and Marina Cristofalo have established the duo, formed in 2009, as purveyors of  poignant, otherworldly “retro-futurist” dreampop.

“Dream of Bees” opens with a hovering organ chord that’s quickly overtaken by an instrumental preview of a chorus that always pulls the listener aloft on a softly turning but slightly dizzying carousel of sound, an image bolstered by a vertiginously calliope-like keyboard line. With the first verse commences a high, distant vocal that soars gently through the rest of the track. Nimble drum work contributed by Valentina Magaletti ensures that the proceedings never quite touch the Ground.

The first remix included with the single comes by way of San Francisco’s ethereal pop team Silver Swans, whose sparer, more synthetic approach to the song brings the vocal line to the fore and uses programmed drums to pull the track’s rhythmic emphasis inside out. A remix by Vancouver-born, New York-based cellist Julia Kent startlingly recasts “Dream of Bees” in purely instrumental terms with an exquisite string arrangement.

Most people will know the Kinks greatest hits from You really Got Me to Sunny Afternoon to Lola. 

This album takes some of their lesser known songs and re-imagines them using AI reproduction. Take a listen. They are really good songs worth rediscovering or listening to them for the first time.

I saw a UFO on a horse in Mexico
in the lonely night time, where my dog died
ET it called my name, I never heard that thing again
on the zombie mountain where the dead die

they don't eat people
they don't watch TV
or worship satan

strange days moving on
AI and the Higgs Boson 
and the looming deadline murder suicide
I pray for everyone as a godless sapien 
as the zoo impound us all

they don't eat people
they don't watch TV, no
or worship satan
or read astrology
they don't eat people
they don't watch TV, NO!
or worship satan

I saw a UFO, oh I don't see the sun no more
in eternal darkness, where the dark die
ET it called my name, I never heard that thing again
on the zombie mountain, where the dead die, NO

THE BLOOD SEEPS OUT LIKE THE WOUNDS OF A WALRUS
IN SALTY ICE IN FROST AND BLUBBER
THE BIRDS THE SUN THE BUGS THAT ADORE YOU
THE ENDLESS GLORY

THE DUCK SCREAMS OUT AS IT CHOKES ON MEDICINE
IT’S NATURE MOCKED THEN STUFFED AND MURDERED 
THE ONE THE OTHER
FACELESS JOYLESS COLD

THE BLOOD SEEPS OUT LIKE THE WOUNDS OF A WALRUS
IN SALTY ICE IN FROST AND BLUBBER
THE BIRDS THE SUN THE BUGS THAT ADORE YOU
