THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Over the past decade and a half, The Rocket Summer — masterminded by singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Bryce Avary — has built a rich and expansive body of work that’s won the loyalty of a diverse and devoted international fan base that continues to embrace Avary’s exuberant songcraft, evocative lyrics and adventurously layered soundscapes.
Says Avary: “Bee Sides: Select Rarities 2015-2020 features some of my favorite songs that were recorded during the Sweet Shivers and Zoetic album sessions, but that didn’t actually go on the albums for reasons of album-length limitations. It also features a couple of my favorite live loop jams that have happened on tour over these last several years, as well as a song that I started during the last album but that somehow got away from me, only to find its way back by way of a sea of warm fuzz that flowed when I discovered it in my voice memos this summer.”
