Spirit Of The Beehive: Hypnic Jerks (Coloured Vinyl LP)

As the Spirit Of The Beehive front man Zack Schwartz puts it, Hypnic Jerks sounds like the state between wakefulness and sleep - the Philly quintet's third full length is named after the involuntary muscle spasms that can happen right as someone begins dozing off, a perfect feeling to compare the album's drowsy-yet- restless character to.

Unlike the spiralling momentum of the band's sophomore LP, Pleasure Suck, the Spirit Of The Beehive takes a more grounded approach here, though the ground it's standing on is equally otherworldly. Dreamy is a fitting adjective, but the ten tracks on Hypnic Jerks never fully slip into the peaceful character of dream-pop. Pink vinyl version.
