The
Mother Hips - LIMITED EDITION SPLIT 7-inch VINYL w/ UK's THE BEES - POSTED
APRIL 2, 2008 -
Camera
Records is proud to release a split 7" vinyl single
on April 22 from two acclaimed bands:
Isle of Wight’s Mercury prize-nominated The
Bees (also known as "A Band of Bees" in America)
and esteemed California quartet The Mother
Hips. The single offers two brand new tracks, "Papa
Echo" by The Bees and "Childish Dreams" by The Mother
Hips. The release marks the first studio recordings
since 2007’s Octopus by The Bees and Kiss
The Crystal Flake by The Mother Hips.
The record is a must have for afficionados who truly
appreciate the psychedelic-70’s-power-pop movement.
“Papa Echo” from The Bees swirls their well-known
psychedelia with blazing Latin-jazz and salsa rhythms. Side
AA’s "Childish Dreams" from The Mother Hips brings
a fresh punch to the bands' repertoire, "melding heady Revolver-era
vocals with Zombies-esque pop." The antique green
sleeve was screen-printed in NYC with hand-drawn lettering
by Hugh Miller Surratt, the resident poster artist at
Michigan State University from 1970-1975, drawing posters
for Miles Davis, The Byrds, Frank Zappa, and The Grateful
Dead, among others.
Orders
are being taken now. All orders received a free
download of each track within 24 hours of placing the
order. Pre-orders prior to release day will receive
their download link on April 22nd. This is a limited
edition release and these songs will not be available
to download individually without purchasing the vinyl.
These tracks will not be available via iTunes or any
other digital distribution retailer. If you pre-order,
we plan to have it at your doorstep on or before April
22, the day it also hits all good record shops. Order
here.
