One Inch Badge presents:

SEA OF BEES

“As much as I love Wilco,” says the woman who calls herself Sea Of Bees, “I didn’t want to write another ‘I Am Trying To Break Your Heart’.”

Julie Ann Baenziger – everyone calls her Jules - is referring to her stunning new album, which goes by the distinctive and intriguing name of Orangefarben. It’s a classic break-up record that disobeys the usual break-up rules, where getting reacquainted with life in the single lane is a singularly maudlin and clothes-ripping experience. Despite this being her first relationship and a public declaration of love for another woman, there’s no wallowing in self-pity, in either words or music. As Jules recalls, “What happened wasn’t all miserable to me, so I also wanted to write about the things that were really special. I may have listened to some heart-wrenching music,” Jules confesses, “but I’m tired of misery.”

So expect as many declarations of the wonder of love and a journey of self-discovery as a wistful vein of regret at love’s passing. Expect beautiful songs over-brimming with hooks, as gutsy as they are intimate and delicate, rooted in the primary colours of guitar, bass and drums, but with marimba, strings and pedal steel in here too. From deliciously upbeat (“Girl”) to mellotron-lined mystery (“Smile”), from swarthy passion (“Alien”) to ambient and tranquil (“Grew”), the album sits comfortably with her primary influences (Bright Eyes, Sigur Rós, Joanna Newsom, Sunny Day Real Estate frontman Jeremy Enigk).
