' '
,: A meditative and endlessly turning clutch of songs, She Keeps :,
: BeesÆ Kinship reasserts the band's elegant power in a stream of :
:' loss and regeneration. Death, birth, both personal and in ':
,: reflection of Earth itself emerge through Jessica Larrabee's :,
: focused, empowered voice. With Larrabee and Andy LaPlant's first :
:' album in four years, She Keeps Bees peels away their distorted ':
,: guitars and fills the void with hypnotic organ, keyboards, :,
: strings, a tight bed of drum grooves, and a direct lyricism full :
:' of with wisdom and intention. Kinship is an album that radiates ':
,: its messages with deft knowledge and immeasurable strength. :,
: :
:' Since 2014Æs acclaimed Eight Houses, Larrabee cared for and ':
,: lost her father before moving upstate with LaPlant to a New York :,
: cottage with a plan to start their own family. In this new, :
:' solitary and natural environment, they wrote and recorded ':
,: Kinship over five months, joined by friends Kevin Sullivan (Last :,
: Good Tooth) on bass, Penn Sultan (Last Good Tooth) for guitar, :
:' and Eric Maltz, who lent strings, synthesizers and piano. ':
,: :,
: Created by a band who ôhas never shied away from engaging :
:' directly, unrelentingly, with the darkest sides of politics and ':
,: social justice,ö (NPR) Kinship takes aim at our current shared :,
: social and environmental woes, but from a learned vantage point. :
:' On ôCoyote,ö Larrabee finds inspiration in Katie Lee, a ':
,: Folkways singer/actress/protestor who vocally opposed damming :,
: the Colorado River. Waters needed to flow their natural paths, :
:' she argued, and human intervention was destroying our ':
,: environment. Likewise, LarrabeeÆs lyrics are odes to NatureÆs :,
: dominance and its eternal victory, whereas humanityÆs survival :
:' suffers a more tenuous fate. Larrabee sings ôCarved by rain, by ':
,: rivers, by streams / Flood the canyons / Drown everything / :,
: Ignore the rules of balance.ö :
:' ':
,: In the universal, Larrabee provides a larger context for her :,
: personal loss, though regarding nature she refuses to entirely :
:' mourn. ôDominance is a dead end,ö she sings on ôDominance,ö ':
,: ôrestore the balance.ö At no moment on Kinship is Earth or :,
: Larrabee powerless; instead she sounds immovable, aligning with :
:' her music and words as very few writers can. What do we do when ':
,: we find ourselves in a society split on its fate? Larrabee :,
: answers with a quote from the astrologer and pragmatic mystic, :
:' Caroline Casey "To spiral out of polarity as nature does - to ':
,: find the cool response in a hot reactive world." :,
: :
:' Kinship addresses chaos by pointing beyond it, to the order ':
,: that exists outside our reach. As the duo settle upstate and :,
: begin planting roots for their future life together, She Keeps :
:' Bees have taken the long view and written odes to the ':
,: irrevocable primacy of Nature. :,
