SHE KEEPS BEES is a duo from Brooklyn, NY, consisting of singer guitarist Jessica Larrabee and drummer/producer Andy LaPlant.

They have self-recorded and released music made at home since 2006. Their debut album, Minisink Hotel, was described by NYC's Other Music as "the best album you've never heard." Nests, their second full-length, was admired by the Guardian as "sparse, soulful and defiantly retro." Their third LP, "Dig On", was praised by the BBC as "an album of fire, spirit, and sweat." Their new album "Eight Houses" (Sept.2014) finds SHE KEEPS BEES working with an outside producer, Nicolas Vernhes (Wye Oak, Deerhunter, The War On Drugs, Dirty Projectors, Lia Ices a.o.) for the first time and enlisting guest musicians including Sharon Van Etten (vocals on "Owl" and "Is What It Is") and Adam Schatz.

SHE KEEPS BEES have created a beautifully timeless and haunting album. "Eight Houses" revels in the raw power of subtlety, silence and space, coloring Jessica Larrabee's compositions with lean piano lines, hazy horns and warm organ rolls.
