If they give an award for the most aptly named album, the Spirit of the Beehive’s Hypnic Jerks ought to win. The Philadelphia band’s 2018 full-length is named after those little spasms many people experience as they’re falling asleep, and the music contained therein sounds like it was written and recorded specifically for those disorienting moments when you’re not quite awake and not quite snoozing, but somewhere in between. Don’t misunderstand, though: Hypnic Jerks is not boring. It’s a 10-track collection of gorgeous, gauzy dream-pop experiments interspersed with bewildering spoken-word samples that create the feel of an otherworldly travelogue. by Ben Salmon
