invisible bees

About Me

a chance meeting in a haunted fruit cellar....instruments were gathered and tuned to the november wind-recorded continued until the snow melted and the infant sun exploded into a million burning eyes. invisible bees are a primitive-psych-folk-duo united in their aim to send time out of joint. the insect ritual is darkly hypnotic-droney-buzzy-with primitive saz-warm accordion swells -minimal guitar motifs-strummed violin-tolling bells- bowed metal and devotional vocals. mr damian burgess and miss elin eriksen are both london-based human-types... D.B was born in manchester england and E.T.E in oslo norway
