  • Streaming + Download

    Our second studio release, from 2010. 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. 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 Austin, Texas

Bee vs. Moth has one foot in the world of jazz and creative improvisation, and the other firmly planted on a distortion pedal. Their uniquely astylistic instrumental style may not be a tautology. Bee vs. Moth is paved with intentions.
