77 - 78 - Jellies 77:78

77:78, the new project from Aaron Fletcher & Tim Parkin, card-carrying members of the musical kaleidoscope that is The Bees, have announced details of the release of their debut album, 'Jellies'. The band have also recently unveiled 'Love Said (Let's Go)', their first release for Heavenly Recordings having recently signed to the label. The track was previously available as a limited edition white label seven which sold out within 48-hours and was the catalyst for Heavenly to sign the band having being blown away by the track after picking up a copy while out record shopping. Set to pick up where the Bees left off, the album was recorded at Studio Humbug on the Isle of Wight and musically picks it way from sublime west coast harmonies that recall the frayed beauty of the Beach Boys 'Smiley Smile' , to the ramshackle dub of King Tubby via the playfulness of early Syd Barret. "Some musicians and bands definitely have their sound and stick to it, which is fair enough, but that's just not us.

Whenever we're in the studio we're constantly inspired to go down different musical paths, which I suppose is why the record we've made sounds so diverse. "
