Collections of Colonies of Bees sweep in grandly, in billowing swarms of sound, borne aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant detail. Guitars chime and soar, recalling the best campaigns of the guitar armies of both Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham; deft yet intensely focused percussion propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil of subtly nuanced electronica. Their CD Birds is joyous, epic minimalism in exquisite registration, a sound that is dazzling -- and as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb.
