Six months on from the release of their critically-acclaimed fourth album,ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH,Philadelphia trio SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE closeout 2021 with brand new 7THE DOOR, comprising two previously-heard but never physically released songs in THE DOOR IS OPEN and THE DOOR IS CLOSING.
The 7 is led by THE DOOR IS OPEN, a 2020 single that marked a new chapter for the band ahead of the release ofENTERTAINMENT, DEATH.The song continues to defy definition, Stereogum said upon its initial release, before adding: Its amazing that they made such a short track feel like such a dreamy journey.
Its backed by THE DOOR IS CLOSING, a bright and skewed gem of a track that was originally released earlier this year viaThrough The Soil,a charity compilation that benefited the NAMI COVID-19 Mental Health Support Fund.
Whether opened or closed,THE DOORis a bold reminder of SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVES many layered and colourful ideas. It also ribbon-ties a brilliant 2021 for the band, one which sawENTERTAINMENT, DEATHlabelled asan intensely beautiful,intensely difficult record by Pitchfork, a sprawling odyssey of haunting dissonance and blissful euphoria by Flood Magazine, and a “storm of sound with a deep humanity coming through by Fader.
