Upfront Reviews - 12.03.07: Albums.
The Bees
Octopus (Virgin CDV3024)
The Bees' third album is a long way off their eclectic, Mercury- nominated, debut album Sunshine Hit Me. Octopus has a stronger theme, being heavily influenced by Sixties British guitar pop and shiny West Coast hippy sounds. Recorded in their new basement studio on the Isle of Wight, the first single Who Cares What The Question Is? is out on March 5.
The High Llamas
Can Cladders (Drag City DC317CD)
When not providing luscious arrangements for the likes of Stereolab, Saint Etienne and Super Furry Animals, Sean O'Hagan has been turning out consistently exhilarating albums with his High Llamas cohorts. Clan Cladders is no exception, being as it is a typically grandiose affair with a collage of orchestration backing the quietly whimsical and poignant songs.
