Dutch Interior debuts video for “Beekeeping”

Dutch Interior have shared new single/video “Beekeeping,” the track is of the Los Angeles band’s debut for Fat Possum, Moneyball, available March 21st. the track is the follow-up to lead single “Fourth Street,” “Beekeeping” captures the aftermath of a relationship. In vocalist Shane Barton’s words, the track “is a reflection on personal flaws. It cautions against maintaining stagnant relationships and serves as a reminder that doing so is more akin to an act of cruelty than a favor.” On the track’s closing moments Barton reflects: “It’s not like I tried to be / Cruel or incomplete / I just thought I owed you / So I endured you.” — the LA County-based band of lifelong friends Jack Nugent, Conner Reeves, Davis Stewart, Noah Kurtz, and brothers Shane and Hayden Barton. Last month, Dutch Interior announced a North American tour in support of Moneyball. They’ll kick things off with an appearance at SXSW, with dates supporting Iceage, Frog and Lowertown to follow.
Moneyball finds its way through its own humorous twists and turns, alongside an undercurrent of omnipresent, steadfast declarations of love. It’s this stark romanticism that makes the music of the band expand outside the confines of the spaces they dwell into something more universally compelling, a manifestation of hope and faith that, together, they can create something bigger than themselves.
The LP was produced by Reeves and mixed by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Duster, Fleet Foxes). Five of the six band members have vocal and lyrical credits on the record; one can begin to pick up the separate stylings and personalities of the band members by the songs they independently write before bringing to the band at large, where the songs often grow into new forms all together. Despite this individual approach to songwriting, they describe each other as “branches of the same core life” whose colliding influences and experience all bleed into the songs, and the ten songs that make up the record find cohesion “not just in the art but the physical space”: the band’s studio as well as their longstanding friendships.
