the fantasy is to believe “the door is open” messages on a t-shirt the palisades of my life looking out of the window and it’s passing me by separate a habit from a line and bite down your thumb inside my mouth again this time it’s real and it never ends i just need a reaction but the door is opening now fantasy is a season only now can i look the mind, it breaks for a reason that was all it took simple is the cavernous decay of the night when we’re apart a winter locked inside a car i never left for all that’s worth the shock of learning my new spot and it’s a shadow on my heart it’s a shadow on my heart it’s a shadow on my heart
2.	THE DOOR IS CLOSING 02:57	lyrics	buy track
commit to your con i’ll wait my number called an eternal state a comedy that i can’t see cut through the fog permanent dilation mass intimidation carefully avoiding promises and i lie through my teeth and my eyes through my bones walking through the final act i never think twice i keep it on my back unfortunate an age of debt i take in the ground creep around the halls i know it all comes back to bite believers don’t fight or sweat through the night but I do i got no energy anymore i know the door is closing on me

about

Six months on from the release of their critically-acclaimed fourth album, ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH, Philadelphia trio SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE closeout 2021 with brand new 7” THE DOOR, comprising two previously-heard but never physically released songs in “THE DOOR IS OPEN” and “THE DOOR IS CLOSING”.

The 7” is led by “THE DOOR IS OPEN”, a 2020 single that marked a new chapter for the band ahead of the release of ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH. The song “continues to defy definition”, Stereogum said upon its initial release, before adding: “It’s amazing that they made such a short track feel like such a dreamy journey.”

It’s backed by “THE DOOR IS CLOSING”, a bright and skewed gem of a track that was originally released earlier this year via Through The Soil, a charity compilation that benefited the NAMI COVID-19 Mental Health Support Fund.

Whether opened or closed, THE DOOR is a bold reminder of SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE’S many layered and colourful ideas. It also ribbon-ties a brilliant 2021 for the band, one which saw ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH labelled as “an intensely beautiful, intensely difficult record” by Pitchfork, a “sprawling odyssey of haunting dissonance and blissful euphoria” by Flood Magazine, and a "storm of sound with a deep humanity coming through” by Fader.

Digital Release Date: November 9th, 2021
