In glorious black and white tones, Valerio Berdini profiles Sea of Bees onstage at their Cambridge show early last week in support of their debut album ‘Songs For The Ravens’, out now via Heavenly Records.
Heavenly Recordings
LCMDF – Love & Nature
Le Corps De Mince Francoise appropriate every single sound the nineties ever created and manage to make a coherent record. What’s more, it’s actually fantastic. Stephen Smith reviews.
Sea of Bees – Songs for the Ravens
From crooned ballads to crooked ventures – Sea of Bees’ Songs for the Ravens threatens to launch into the stratosphere, but fails to get as far as the tree tops. Tiffany Daniels reviews.
LCMDF: ‘Future Me’
Moving away from the frankly warped imagery from their previous video, ‘Future Me’ sees the sisters cavorting around a foreign destination; hanging out on the beach, hanging out with a man with a parrot, hanging out on some swings with a toy camera. Just hanging. Man. I wonder if they need a third, bearded member? Doubtful.

Doves – The Places Between: The Best Of Doves
For a band that has always been interested in crafting a tangible theme and mood with each release, a package like this can’t help but sound a bit random; packed with massive singles, but ultimately leaving the listener with no further insight into the bands lasting legacy.
Fionn Regan – The Shadow Of An Empire
The Irish troubadour sheds the tender folk balladry of yesteryear for a more vitriolic, electric sound. Did someone just shout “JUDAS!”?.
Saint Etienne – Fox Base Beta
Richard X has got his mitts on Saint Etienne’s 1991 album. And the results are the cherry on top of the Fox Base cake. Catriona Boyle reviews.
Fionn Regan – The Luminaire, London 11/11/09
With his new material Regan is much more of a performer, and a brave one at that; his incredible daring and skill silently telling us to trust him, because he most definitely knows what he is doing.
