BEE BEE SEA
WATCH VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE ‘TIME AND TIME’ HERE
UK TOUR IN MAY, INCLUDING HEADLINE SHOW AT LONDON’S SHACKLEWELL ARMS
In celebration of their upcoming UK tour this month, Italian psych-garage heroes Bee Bee Sea recently released their latest single ‘Time and Time‘, an introspective, yet powerful, song about the inexorable passing of time.
Today, they share the video for ‘Time and Time’. Filmed and directed by Perth Png, an artist specializing in lo-fi/DIY punk video making. It is a glimpse into the rural/suburban landscape the band come from, and from which they draw their artistic inspiration. The main character is a tyre, a symbol of both life on the road and of the ups and downs of a rock’n’roll band. A tyre that needs to be re-inflated from time to time, but that risks exploding at any moment.
