Bee Thousand
''Bee Thousand'' is the seventh album by American indie rock band Guided by Voices released on June 21, 1994.〔(''Bee Thousand'' ) at the Guided by Voices database〕 It was recorded on consumer-quality audio recorders rather than in a studio, and many of the songs are less than two minutes long. After its release the band became one of the more prominent groups associated with the "lo-fi" genre, a movement defined by the relatively poor recording quality 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.
==Background==
Guided by Voices is a Dayton, Ohio-based band formed in 1983. Although by 1992 the band had released five full-length albums (not including their 1986 debut EP, ''Forever Since Breakfast''), Guided by Voices was not a band in a conventional sense; its line-up was extremely loose, consisting of whoever of a group of friends showed up to short notice recording sessions. Robert Pollard thought of Guided by Voices as more of a "songwriter's guild" than a band, and also said that "Whoever could come over would play. () It was just a bunch of friends who could occasionally get together so it didn't really feel like a band."〔Woodworth (2006). p. 23–25〕
''Bee Thousand'' was to be the original band's final album. Pollard was close to disbanding Guided by Voices by 1993, due to financial constraints and pressure to focus more on his family and teaching career;〔Woodworth (2006). p. 13〕 Pollard has also stated that the band was nearly broken up as early as 1991, during the creation of ''Propeller''. Pollard was also struggling with writing for a follow-up record to ''Vampire on Titus'' and ''Propeller'', which had been the band's two most noticed records yet. However, it occurred to him to "deconstruct" and "reconstruct" the band's older, unused material into new songs.〔
