Lead vocalist Julie Baenziger and band-mates James Neil, Sam Coe, Bryce Gonzales and John Baccigaluppi (the Hangar) have put together a truly memorable, heartfelt (at times gut-wrenchingly honest and beautiful) album entitled Songs for the Ravens which will be released on Crossbill Records.
Consequence of Sound has said of Baenziger that she "has a quality in her voice and her arrangements that suggests she has too much integrity to get covered in gloss. Wherever she ends up taking Sea of Bees, I suspect it will be worth following."
Baenziger discussed the tone of the album which I think can be wrapped up perfectly in two words: hopelessly romantic. While writing the songs she recalls feeling alone, and looking for love. Ultimately, she said the album ended up expressing that desire to be in a relationship.
