Philadelphia’s SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE has released their new EP, i’m so lucky, their first project since their breakout out ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH. A band at its most lucid and emotionally transparent, work on i’m so lucky started during a transitional period in the members’ lives. In the summer of 2022, Schwartz and Rivka ended their romantic relationship after being together for over 10 years. “For the first three or four months after it ended, it was pretty rough,” says Schwartz. “I don't know if anybody was sure we would continue doing the band. But then we sorted it out slowly and we just all wanted to get back to work.” While SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE splits up writing and vocal duties between their three members, both Schwartz and Ravede penned lyrics that primarily dealt with the dissolution of their romantic partnership. |

i’m so lucky is the start of a new era for SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE: it’s a marker of their own growth and a hint of what’s yet to come. “This EP feels like a really good transition between ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH and the newer material that we've been working on,” says Wichlin. Between the propulsive and frenetic opener “human debenture” and the dread-inducing “really happening,” the entire four-song release feels like it captures all sides of the band. These tracks feel alive and unfussy: a document of a band in control and pushing themselves even further. “We’ve been trying to make some of the newer stuff less maximalist and just focus on what we can accomplish live,” says Schwartz. “It’s not that these songs are simpler: They're just different and have more space, more room to breathe.” |
In support of the EP, the band will head off on a Midwest / East Coast underplay tour. Kicking off in Cleveland next week on September 5th, and wrapping on September 15th, the tour will hit Chicago, Philadelphia, and more (full dates below.) |
