Live Beehive by Ducklingmonster
Ducklingmonster grew up under the guava tree in Onehunga. She is the dunt loop under a hive of low lying electronics. Beats, lights, vocals, good manners.

"Live Beehive" opens with this skipping, buzzing rhythm which sounds like that lightbulb is stuck in a glitch loop. The sound can quickly turn to video game glitch but it sounds like Atari, perhaps like the soundtrack to Pong gone awry. Loud space blasts enter the scene now as well. It's like some kind of great space war and then the drums come shaking in. At first, there are vocals which come through and I think they sound damned. Eventually, they come through in loops to the point where you know it's a singular voice being looped but it can sound like a crowd of people talking at once. In this way, it also can become trippy.
Steady drum beats keep the background, which I feel have been made with some sort of electronic programming but sound a lot like a live drum kit. Rapid fire shots come out via feedback and then it drops down lower. There is this grinding guitar sound with the drums as the vocals have abandoned us but they return and that becomes the story of this in a way: it's between the deep, static void, glitching, vocal looping and those drums keeping the beat. Into a solo bit of distortion these deeper tones come out with them that are likely a guitar but have an organ feel to them as well"
