On the show this time, it's the sample-friendly indie-pop of SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE.

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE has been making music together since 2014. They got their name from the legendary 1973 Spanish film directed by Victor Erice. Their sound is highly original, using samples, noisy punk guitars, grooves from a wide variety of influences and thought provoking lyrics. They describe their recent music thus: “our last release, 2023’s i’m so lucky, explored the breakup between guitarist Zach Schwartz and bassist Rivka Ravede, setting the stage and emotional territory for the band’s fifth record, YOU’LL HAVE TO LOSE SOMETHING. It is a continued meditation on the end of relationships and the unsteadiness that follows." It is available on Saddle Creek Records.

Recorded October 3, 2024.
