Bee and Flower is a band founded in New York City in 1999[1] by singer-songwriter, bassist, animator, illustrator, composer and producer Dana Schechter.
In 2004 the band, then consisting of just Dana Schechter and Roderick Miller, went to Berlin with producer Toby Dammit (Iggy Pop and Swans) to record an album.
[7] Last Sight of Land, recorded in 2004 in Berlin and released on tuition music in 2007, explores elements of traditional film scoring orchestration, with an emphasis on strings, choirs, and a large bass section.
Bee and Flower have worked since this album with a number of musicians, both in the studio and in live performances, who play in notable bands, including Thomas Wydler (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and Peter von Poehl (Bertrand Burgalat).
Despite the fact that (in my opinion) those records are really great, it wasn’t a successful band and running it took a lot of my blood, sweat and heartache, so I was ready to let it go by the end.
