about

Between the Lines is the second album from Bay Area-based Forest Bees, the solo project of Sheetal Singh, formerly of the Elektra and Jetset Records shoegaze band, The Stratford 4. The album explores the effect of racial categories on our lives and, as the title suggests, the position of Asian Americans within those categories and how we might be able to transcend them. It asks the question, stated by writer Thomas Chaterton Williiams: “To what extent are the things that happen to us predetermined by our identity categories, and to what extent is that just the blues of being alive?”
