about

Howdy all, David here from the band. I created this lofi track about 3 years ago. We planned to put it on the band's next studio album, but with "Music From SteamWorld Heist II" taking priority, we weren't sure when that would be, so it just sat and continues to sit while we wait for whatever the next CD we put out is.

We always intended to release it as a single one day, even before it appeared on a CD, so we decided, "Hey why not put it out FINALLY...and do so at the tail end of 2024?!".

Fun facts:

It has old ocean sounds the band recorded from San Diego years ago for our "Album One" version of "Captain Albert Alexander".

While vocals only appear during the intro and chorus for this version, it's using a mix of old vocals and harmonies from the original Honeybee recording, mixed with new ones done by Bryan (Zer0) from our "Not Live and Not in Person" 2020 pandemic recording. I did a few new ones of myself to replace all of the past backing musician's harmonies. I also recorded myself doing brand new throat singing to go along with it so this version is purely all Bunny, David, and Bryan vocals (Rabbit, The Spine, & Zer0). We are time traveling with vocal recordings that are 13 years apart, it's surreal! Old Rabbit, old Spine, mixed with Zer0 and modern-day Spine!

A piano is doing the melody, and then some other electric pianos come in to play the harmony parts panned left and right...just like the actual Spine and Zer0 harmony parts.

A few instrument parts from the original recording are put here and there, but others, like the bass, I re-did to make it a little more "chill". OH YEAH AND THERE"S BOOM BOOM CLAP DRUMS or whatever cause it's lofi or something (and a little bit of vinyl record dust and ocean sounds spread throughout).

On one last note, we had the lovely idea to make use of the ORIGINAL single art we released for Honeybee back in February of 2011 as the base for this lofi version's single art. Go and check that art out on the single on Spotify.

That original Honeybee single was online for purchase on places like iTunes until May 2012 when the full "The 2-Cent Show" album was released, and then we had it taken down because we thought that's what you were supposed to do with singles when putting those singles on albums, I DUNNO we did the same with "On Top of The Universe" for "Album One" for some reason too! It was a different time! Spotify didn't launch in the US until mid-2011. We were ROLLING IN THE ITUNES SALES I TELL YOU! Not really, it didn't get popular until well after the music video was released in February of 2012, a WHOLE YEAR after the single. You can thank tumblr and the San Diego Zoo for pushing Honeybee to where it is now (and the vblog brothers). It existed in obscurity for at least a year, besides for our early fans, but we really don't remember Honeybee being NEARLY as popular with our fans back in 2011 as it was in 2012 and is now ya know? Internet be crazy and unpredictable.

Special thanks to Bunny for finding that ancient old original Honeybee single art PSD on her computer so we could make the new single art from it and pay ohmage.

Thanks for your continued support of the band!

Pop Food
by Jack Stauber

supported by 7 fans who also own “Honeybee (Lofi Version)”

Jack Stauber's Pop Food is my favorite album of all time. There's an emotional straining tension in each song, sung not just through the lyrics but also through each of Stauber's syllables. Pop Food itself functions as a noun, describing an ordinarily inexplicable combination of loneliness, reunion, and melancholy, all through (mostly) soft synthesizers, bass chords, and groovy guitars. This album will stick with me for the rest of my life, and I hope it does the same for you, too. consentwastaken
