This album is a slow grower and even after ten years, this dark work by the New York duo still sounds fresh, is touching and overall astonishing. Originally released in 2014 through the BB*ISLAND label the long out-of-print vinyl is now reissued as a special limited edition. Pressed on "Sparkling Starlight" vinyl and housed in a deluxe cardboard jacket, it comes with a folded poster incl the lyrics and a postcard with a download code. The download includes the album tracks and an exclusive one-hour interview podcast with
She Keeps Bees
. Considering how controlled the chaos is on
Eight Houses
-- a record that's ruptured by riffs and rattled by rhythms without leaping straight off the rails -- it's tough to imagine a time when
Jessica Larrabee
and
Andy LaPlant
didn't finish each other's sentences, creatively and personally. But that's how She Keeps Bees began: with LaPlant bashing a borrowed kit (including a garbage-picked floor tom) atop a step-ladder and Larrabee directing the dark solo recordings she began soon after moving from Philadelphia to Brooklyn. That dynamic became more pronounced with each passing record, peaking with the self-produced songs of "Nests" and "Dig On," the latter of which expanded the pair's minimal sound with bass parts and synths. Now joined by an outside producer (
Rare Book Room
's
Nicolas Vernhes
) and guest musicians including
Sharon Van Etten
and
Adam Schatz
, She Keeps Bees revels in the raw power of subtlety, silence and space, coloring Larrabee's compositions with lean piano lines, hazy horns and warm organ rolls.
