The Bekeeper

THE BEEKEEPER (2005)

Tori Amos's eighth solo album, The Beekeeper, released on February 22, 2005. It was recorded at Martian Engineering in Cornwall, England.
Tori describes the album in the context of her feminine spirituality: in ancient times, bees were associated with goddesses and the feminine.
On songs like "Sweet the Sting," "Sleeps with Butterflies," and "Ribbons Undone," Tori incorporates vintage organs, Afro-Cuban drums and Gospel choirs, working once again with longtime partners, drummer Matt Chamberlain and bassist Jon Evans.
Tori says, "The Beekeeper is musically inspired by the fact that the piano has realized that she has an organ - with my right hand on her organ and my left hand on her piano keys, I have been changed by the relationship between these two beautiful creatures, the Bosendorfer piano and the B3 Hammond organ."
