Little Tybee – Humorous to Bees (2011)

Little Tybee makes its home in Atlanta, Georgia. The core band is made of five members (at least for this album): Multi-talented singer-songwriter Brock Scott who also plays guitar and keys, guitarist Josh Martin, bassist Ryan Donald, violinist Nirvana Kelly and drummer Pat Brooks. The core members are only some of the musicians that make up the bigger ensemble known as Little Tybee. For this album alone, the total band of musicians number 14 members. These additional musicians help create a sound that is unlike a lot of bands that are currently in the music industry.
The new release from Little Tybee is a twelve-track release that incorporates many different elements into one beautiful album. The music contains some jazz, folk and other genres within the rock music that the band composes. This creates a wonderful indie feel to the band’s music.
One thing that is very apparent as soon as you put the release on is Brock Scott’s voice: Scott’s vocal quality would remind you of Jim James, the lead singer of the band My Morning Jacket. Like James, Scott’s voice is in the high tenor register. Scott’s high voice in itself makes Little Tybee’s music unique. But when coupled with the style of the band, you have something that you don’t hear on mainstream radio… and that’s not a bad thing.
Humorous to Bees starts with the title track. The liner notes claim that the album was recorded in recording studios, basements and bathrooms around the Atlanta area. With this track, you can definitely tell that Brock Scott recorded the track in one of the bathrooms that were already mentioned. The naturally occuring reverb that exists in public restrooms helps to add a certain amount of production value with almost no effort and helps to add depth to a song that is literally just Brock and his guitar.
