Among This Kind Of Punishment's myriad of recordings, A Beard Of Bees best outlines the collective vision of the Jefferies brothers. Their classic second album feels more meticulous than its predecessor, proffering a grey, near-Mancunian influence that serves as both touchstone and springboard for the proceedings. The unique manoeuvring on "Trepidation" is a marvel: guitar sweetness shifting toward melancholic piano and ending with their combined shimmer. Conversely, the augmented VU-inspired noise of "East Meets West" positions itself as the album's prime moment of severity - creepily building toward horror-show screams that inch to a buried, found-sound resolution.
Originally self-released in 1984, A Beard Of Bees has been out of print for almost 25 years.
