Watch the lovely new video from Sea Of Bees for their track Test Yourself, taken from recent album Build A Boat To The Sun. “Test Yourself” is one of those songs that grab you in the first second — Sea Of Bees’ Julie Ann Baenziger kicks things off with no need for build-up, diving straight into the pastel-colored waters of her breezy, fully-realized world. Every “la la la” and jingle-jangle in the background feels deliberate and well-executed, and as she goes along, you can almost feel the tide swelling under your feet. The lyrics betray a darker side to Baenziger’s giddiness, but it’s one that feels far removed from her current headspace, like a scar that you glance at occasionally but has fully healed over. Unlike “Dad,” the first single from her upcoming album Build A Boat To The Sun, she doesn’t keep her voice restrained here: instead, she lets it fly out with wild abandon, letting it occupy each glimmering corner of the song.

Julie Ann Bee – aka Sacramento folkie Sea Of Bees – brought a break up to life with warmth and honesty on her last album, 2012’s ‘Orangefarben’. On its successor, those qualities are still richly evident. The emotions might not be quite as strong on this record but Sea Of Bees still manages to wrap you up in her words.

Jules says “Keep going, don’t stop and be yourself. Never settle for less.

I have finished the record I have been meaning to make. Things are changing for the good and I am happy.”
