Artichoke

Add Date: October 26 

Artist: Artichoke 

Album: Bees 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Rock, acoustic pop 

Comments: Simple pop tunes on Artichoke's Bees. There's a nice, handmade quality to the tunes, and some interesting vocal manipulations (call and response, for one). The occassional accordian is also a nice touch. Self-described as "a collection of pop songs written around that very theme and performed by humans playing acoustic instruments", Bees is lyrically about bees, and as such it makes for a quirky end product. Try track 3, "Bee B Movie", which is "a summary of Invasion of the Bee Girls from 1973".
