THE BEES & MOTHER HIPS TO RELEASE SPLIT 7" ON APRIL 22

Limited Edition single features a new exclusive song from each band

New York, NY - New York City based-indie Camera Records will release a split 7"
vinyl single on April 22 from two acclaimed bands: Isle of Wight’s Mercury
prize-nominated The Bees (also known as "A Band of Bees" in America) and
esteemed California quartet The Mother Hips. The single offers two brand new
tracks, "Papa Echo" by The Bees and "Childish Dreams" by The Mother Hips.

The release marks the first studio recordings since 2007’s Octopus by The Bees
and Kiss The Crystal Flake by The Mother Hips.

The coupling of the two bands unites their signature psychedelic-70’s-power-pop,
however, both The Bees and Mother Hips possess a colorful range of styles and
influences, such as 60's rock, country, reggae and jazz.

Both The Bees and The Mother Hips are currently in their own studios working on
material for new full-length records, in between tour dates. The single will be
released digitally at a later date- TBD.

Side A's "Papa Echo" from The Bees swirls their well-known psychedelia with
blazing Latin-jazz and salsa rhythms. Side AA’s "Childish Dreams" from The
Mother Hips brings a fresh punch to the bands' repertoire, "melding heady
Revolver-era vocals with Zombies-esque pop." The record is enveloped in an
antique green sleeve screen-printed in NYC with original hand-drawn lettering.
