Bee Bee Sea

Italian psych-garage heroes Bee Bee Sea return with new single 'Time and Time' and a full UK Tour in the Spring.

'Time and Time' is an introspective song about the inescapable passing of time. Cynical and nostalgic, yet powerful, the track is loosely inspired by Richard Hell and the Voidoids' song 'Time', from which the verse "only time can write a song that's really real" is taken.

Musically, 'Time and Time' represents something of a departure from the sound of their latest record, 2020's 'Day Ripper', falling somewhere between Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Stooges and enhanced by the addition of the electric piano played by Marco Giudici, who also produced the track.

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.

Bee Bee Sea will return to the UK in May for a string of dates, which will include a London headline show at the Shacklwell Arms and an appearance at Manchester's Meltchester Festival.
