Spirit of the Beehive + Cryogeyser (Solo)

Philadelphia's restlessly creative Spirit of the Beehive write intricate, sometimes contradictory songs that unpredictably dart between several different styles, with lyrics that often express frustration, numbness, and self-doubt. Debuting with a shoegaze-influenced self-titled album in 2014, the band have constantly shifted both their lineup and their sound, with releases like 2018's Hypnic Jerks veering between dreamy psych-pop and catchy indie rock, and 2021's Entertainment, Death exploring glitchy electronics and grainy, vaporwave-influenced textures. The band's 2023 EP I'm So Lucky was a brief set of noisy, torn-apart post-punk, and the slightly stripped-down full-length You'll Have to Lose Something appeared in 2024.
