Philadelphia’s Spirit of the Beehive have announced a new EP, i’m so lucky, their first new music since 2021’s ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH. It arrives September 1 via Saddle Creek. Today’s announcement comes with the release of two new songs, ‘tapeworm’ and “natural devotion 2’ (a sequel to their 2016 track ‘natural devotion)’. Check out their accompanying video, directed by Daniel Patrick Brennan, below.
The new project came together after band members Zack Schwartz and Rivka Ravede ended their romantic relationship in 2022 after being together for 10 years. “For the first three or four months after it ended, it was pretty rough,” Schwartz said. “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.”
Spirit of the Beehive have also announced an 8-date tour in support of the EP. Find the list of dates below, too.
