Julie Ann Bee — who records under the name Sea of Bees — is releasing her sophomore effort tomorrow, a follow-up to her 2009 debut Songs for the Ravens. The new album, Orangefarben, is being released on Team Love Records. And just so you know: the 25-year-old Bee, raised by a strict, religious family in a conservative suburb of Sacramento, is newly out-of-the-closet. A video of the lovely, catchy song “Broke” is below.
