The Bartlebees – She Loves Monsters
OK… last post for the week…
The Bartlebees was a trio from Munich, Germany, who formed in 1991 and lasted until 1998. They were Patrik (lead vocals, guitar), Andy (bass, vocals), and Armin (drums, percussion). They took their name from the short work “Bartleby, The Scrivener” by Moby Dick author Herman Melville. Their lo-fi indie-pop/twee sound was often compared to the British post-punk band Television Personalities. I don’t know much else about this German band except that they made some pretty catchy tunes, and recorded five albums and released countless songs on 7″ singles and various compilations.
Here is “She Loves Monsters” from their album “Urban Folk Legends”. You’ve gotta love the German accents, organ, duelling vocals, catchy baseline, and even the lyrics! Squee!
