With the sponsorship of shoe company PF Flyers and aid of director/animator Stefan Nadelman, three-piece pop melodicists Menomena have finished a video for “Evil Bee,” the tenth track on their second full-length album, Friend or Foe.
Released in January, Friend or Foe maintained the group’s beautiful hooks and interwoven vocal harmonies while serving as their debut on Barsuk Records. Menomena will continue to tour in support of the album for much of September, October, and November.
Nadelman, who won a short filmmaking award at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival for directing documentary Terminal Bar, examines the darkness in the life of a worker bee in the song’s visual accompaniment. PF Flyers, which has no product placement in “Evil Bee,” will host the video on its website from September 1 to November 1.
