Me Like Bees – Tundraland / The Fifteenth Day

Me Like Bees is an indie rock band from Joplin, Missouri.  (Yes, that Joplin.)  Their great new EP, There Will Be Time, was just released two weeks ago, and it’s full of jittery, tempo-shifting stuff like the two songs below.

Fans of Modest Mouse, early Cold War Kids, or Neutral Milk Hotel should just buy the thing immediately — you guys probably just found your favorite new band.

You can also pick up their excellent debut record, The Ides, directly from the band via their bandcamp page.
