    Our second studio release. More instrumental accidents from Austin, TX. Sounds on the record range from the traditional to the unusual: upright bass, accordion, trombone, flute, slide whistle, vibraphone, and a historical oddity called the intonarumori. Musical surprises await inside. The album includes all 12 tracks on our 2010 album (not just the 4 available for preview and single download). You can choose 320k mp3, FLAC, or many other formats. While you are downloading, check out the videos from the album: http://beevsmoth.com/videos.html

about

Bob Boilen of NPR’s All Songs Considered says "I hear the sounds of Ornette Coleman and the band Television. And sometimes in the same song."

And when given a preview of the album, local press Austin Sound had this to say:
Let this be a lesson to us all, then: this is your brain when you "listen to coffee all day." It apparently becomes some glorious freaked up mash of Ravel's "Bolero" in a blender. From what we've heard, it's the expectedly unexpected from the group—their brand of crazy that falls somewhere between jazz and Zappa (Jazzappa!?).

about

Bee vs. Moth is a multiple-genre, weirdo instrumental rock band from Austin, Texas. Our mission is to bravely explore the little-traveled and oft-neglected territory between Ornette Coleman's doom metal band and Mr. Rogers' dude ranch. Along the way, we'll tromp through a few Latin tunes, knock over some perfectly good chords, and spill improvised solos on our nice, clean shirts. ... more
