Bee Thousand by Guided by Voices

Bee Thousand is the seventh album by American indie rock band Guided by Voices, released on June 21, 1994 on Scat Records. After its release the band became one of the more prominent groups associated with the "lo-fi" genre, a movement defined by the relatively low fidelity of audio releases. Musically, the album draws inspiration from British Invasion-era rock music and punk rock. Following the release of Bee Thousand, the band began to attract interest from other record labels, eventually signing with Matador for their next album.
