"Owl" written by Jessica Larrabee, performed by She Keeps Bees. Produced and recorded by Nicolas Vernhes at Red Book Studio

She Keeps Bees is a duo from Brooklyn, NY, consisting of singer guitarist Jessica Larrabee and drummer/producer Andy LaPlant. They have self-recorded and released music made at home since 2006. Their debut album, Minisink Hotel, was described by NYC’s Other Music as “the best album you’ve never heard." Nests, their second full-length, was admired by the Guardian as “sparse, soulful and defiantly retro.” Their third LP, Dig On, was praised by the BBC as "an album of fire, spirit, and sweat."

Their new album "Eight Houses"  finds She Keeps Bees working with an outside producer, Nicolas Vernhes (Wye Oak, Deerhunter, The War On Drugs, Dirty Projectors, Lia Ices a.o.) for the first time and enlisting guest musicians including Sharon Van Etten and Adam Schatz.

She Keeps Bees have created a beautifully timeless and haunting album. Eight Houses revels in the raw power of subtlety, silence and space, coloring Jessica Larrabee's compositions with lean piano lines, hazy horns and warm organ rolls.

“A band that comes with its own categorization… ambient sounds and dance-friendly, chill-out beats.” Rolling Stone

“Purveyor of lush electronic beats and spindly, progressive soundscapes” Indie Shuffle

Grammy Award winning act DEEP FOREST are set to release new album EVO DEVO on the 10th June via Metropolis Records. Deep Forests’ Signature-Anthem “Sweet Lullaby” instantly opened the world stage for the band. Their associated first album became a huge success and gained gold, platinum or double-platinum status in numerous countries like Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan or the United States. In 1995 Deep Forest won the prestigious Grammy Award for their album Boheme. They were the first French artists to win a Grammy Award and to this day, they only share this honour with Daft Punk.

TICKETS FOR THE 10TH June at Scala can be bought from www.theplayground.co.uk for just £13.50! Limited stock available!

Sing With The Birds

Edited down the original song a bit (it was a little too drawn out here and there). Tweaked the volume on some of the sounds.  Slightly enhanced the piano melody.

Winter Nights Journey

SCENES is my first Retrowave album, and a sort of "greatest hits" of all my artistic influences: movies, TV series, cartoons, videogames, everything is there. The massive use of synths and LINN Drum samples guarantees the 80s throwback, but my love for the electric guitar phrasing lead me towards some rock episodes, expecially in "Neon Blades". SCENES may have a Retrowave style, but I think this album is for everyone, and I hope you will find yourself in some of these micro scenes.

Wake Owl -  Gold

What could be better than waking up in the "Hotel of the Rising Sun", lost under ever-blue sky somewhere among the heavenly corners of Los Angeles? It’s morning, you grab your skateboard, turn on your favorite song on your cassette player and rush along Hollywood boulevards. Palm trees are passing by and a warm wind from the west coast is blowing in your face. You’re young and free and it’s only the 1985.
