Fans of bands like The War On Drugs and Sharon Van Etten will probably like She Keeps Bees. The Brooklyn band has been compared to Cat Power in the past, but on the group’s new record, Eight Houses, the duo’s really rocking more of a Jason Molina or Nina Simone-type vibe. But don’t take our word for it; Eight Houses is streaming exclusively below and features the aforementioned Sharon Van Etten singing back-up vocals on two of the album’s best tracks, “Is What It Is” and “Owl.”
The group has a number of upcoming tour dates as well, and they’re all listed below. Eight Houses is available for pre-order now via iTunes.
