In Parallax (Vinyl)

Cheersquad Records & Tapes and Desert Highways are proud to present the new album "In Parallax" from the revamped incarnation of Link Meanie's DIY pop project Bagful of Beez.

Link explains the recent changes to the band: “Bagful of Beez is now a full band, so no more glitching backing tracks and more band members which is handy for gang fights.”

Indeed, it was most likely the glitching backing tracks that brought Bagful of Beez undone originally, when it was just a Link solo thing. Even when he first brought Matt into play drums, there were still backing tracks, and they still screwed up. Now it's a full band - Matt Cotter (Even), Meghan Maike (Meghan Maike and the Cactus Flowers) and Chip Wardale (Snapshot, Rat Kangaroo and more) - and Link couldn't be happier.

As for the music, it's still the super-smart, catchy and colourful pop that Link has been making for years.

Link Meanie - aka Link McLennan - of course has always been known for his love of pop, even when screaming his guts out and jumping around like a loon in the Meanies. Link's Meanies songs have a pop heart, and it something he's explored more overtly in bands like Tomorrow People, The Bakelite Age and even the heavier Sun God Replica.
