The return of everyone’s favourite Isle of Wight export The Bees is not before time. It follows 2007’s superb Octopus and 2008’s mixtape affair Sound Selection. They are one of the most under-rated, overlooked but talented bands to emerge in the past few years and hopefully they will once again deliver a refreshing alternative to existing ‘indie scene’ with their genre defying mix of 60′s rock, folk, reggae, soul and jazz.
First out of the traps is ‘Silver Line’, a pretty simple but beautifully mellow downbeat meandering folky song with touches of their unique speciality, eccentricity – it’s early days but this has me pretty excited.
But what do you think?
An oldie?
