Camera
Records is proud to release a split 7" vinyl single on April
22 from two acclaimed bands: Isle of Wight’s Mercury prize-nominated
The Bees (also known as "A Band of Bees" in America) and esteemed
California quartet The Mother Hips. The single offers two brand new tracks, "Papa
Echo" by The Bees and "Childish Dreams" by The Mother
Hips.
The release
marks the first studio recordings since 2007’s Octopus by
The Bees and Kiss The Crystal Flake by The Mother Hips. The
record is a must have for afficionados who truly appreciate the psychedelic-70’s-power-pop
movement.
“Papa Echo” from The Bees swirls their well-known psychedelia
with blazing Latin-jazz and salsa rhythms. Side AA’s "Childish
Dreams" from The Mother Hips brings a fresh punch to the bands'
repertoire, "melding heady Revolver-era vocals with
Zombies-esque pop." The antique green sleeve was screen-printed
in NYC with hand-drawn lettering by Hugh Surratt, the resident
poster artist at Michigan State University from 1970-1975, drawing
posters for Miles Davis, The Byrds, Frank Zappa, and The Grateful Dead,
among others.
