Thaw, Freeze, Thaw (Cassette)
Paper Bees influences of verby indie, post-punk, and discordant lo-fi are enlivened by dense layers of sweeping choral harmonies that adorn driving percussion and guitars oscillating from intricate picking to magnificent waves of fuzz. Born originally out of New England, the band has found new footing with its current iteration (ft. mems Ramshackle Glory, Radiator Hospital, Yowler) in Philadelphia, PA. Housemates through the COVID-19 quarantine, the band collaborated on crafting Thaw, Freeze, Thaw, their debut LP on Get Better Records with producer Kyle Gilbride (Swearin, Waxahatchee). The record presents a story about queer love, heartbreak and belonging, and serves as a final pre-HRT document of songwriter Nick Bergers soprano voice.
