Daytrotter.com has posted the Collections of Colonies of Bees session the band recorded last month, a set of unreleased songs titled after some of Seasame Street's core sponsors ("G," "E," "B," and "C.") You can stream it and download it here, if you have a Daytrotter membership (they're well worth the $2 a month). As always, the accompanying Sean Moeller essay is a joy, too, and he nails a word that increasing defines the band's aesthetic: "impatience." It perfectly sums up the restless drive behind the band's tempos and the immediate-payoff mentality that makes this group, especially its latest incarnations, so relentlessly exciting.
