Our Take

Frog Eyes' latest album, The Bees, is a wild and whimsical ride through the minds of frontman Carey Mercer and his merry band of misfits. From the intricate melodies to Mercer's distinctive vocals, this album is a true testament to the band's unique sound.

The opening track, "The Bees In the Memory," sets the tone for the album with its infectious energy and catchy hooks. Mercer's lyrics are as cryptic as ever, leaving listeners pondering the meaning behind each word.

Tracks like "Peel the Mausoleum" and "Innocent Recluse" showcase Frog Eyes' ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sound that is entirely their own. The band effortlessly transitions from haunting ballads to raucous anthems, keeping listeners on their toes throughout the album.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Two Girls (One For Heaven and the Other One For Rome)," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Mercer's raw emotional power. The song is a true highlight and will leave listeners in awe of the band's talent.

Overall, The Bees is a masterful work of art that solidifies Frog Eyes' place as one of the most innovative bands in the industry. With its blend of catchy melodies, cryptic lyrics, and raw emotion, this album is a must-listen for any music lover. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Frog Eyes take you on a journey through their twisted and magical world.
