Biography
"The first song Angelina Moysov wrote is about a little
girl standing at a window watching the moon cry tears of blood. The moon
is saddened by the way humans treat one another. Moysov was 13 when she
penned the song, living in her hometown of Pyatigorsk, Russia, under a
perpetually pale sky.
The porcelain-skinned Russky’s
prose continued to blossom from there. When accomplished guitarist Tom
Ayres got a taste – shortly after Moysov moved to the States –
Persephone’s Bees took flight.Trying to confine the Oakland-based quartet to a specific genre is a
lost cause. Persephone’s is more like an elephant-sized beehive stuffed
with Russ Meyers’ Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, John Lennon and Yoko
Ono’s Double Fantasy, the poetry of Osip Mandelstam (“Persephone’s Bees”
is a phrase from one of his works) and most importantly, life
experience.Persephone’s Bees continues to prevail even after leaving Columbia
Records: Its third, yet-to-be titled album was recently completed.
Without the lavish, big studio production, Ayres and Moysov were tasked
with the intricate process, but Moysov says she cannot be happier with
the outcome." -Persephone'sBees.com
