Led by Paul Butler, they released four albums between 2004 and 2012 before going on hiatus.
For a good sense of their range, try 'Chicken Payback' and 'No Atmosphere.' They frame the band's soul-tinged rock and quieter moments well.
Their music had a loose, rhythmic feel that pulled from soul and funk alongside rock, heard in tracks like 'Chicken Payback' and 'No Atmosphere.' They didn't follow one narrow path, and you can hear different shades across their catalog. That mix gave their indie rock a distinct, slightly off-kilter warmth.
A Band of Bees formed in 2004 and put out their debut 'Music Like a Drug' that same year. They followed it with 'Octopus' in 2006, 'The Sea Might Rise' in 2009, and 'Every Step's a Yes' in 2012, announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2014. Paul Butler wrote most of their material, and the lineup included David Leonard, Kris Birkin, and Michael Weston.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
