Free the Bees


Free the Bees is the second album from British band The Bees in 2004. Their first release for Virgin Records, it is also the first album to feature the current sextet that evolved during the tour that promoted debut album Sunshine Hit Me.
The album was originally planned to be recorded in Butler's shed. However, the band decided to record it at the famous Abbey Road Studios, bringing a more slick and uptempo sound than their debut.
