IntroducIng The Bells, a new Luleå-affIlIated project featurIng Jonas Teglund (Park Hotell, Neverna), Peter NuottanIemI (The Bear Quartet) and Johan ForslInd. They have a full-length album on the way entItled <I>"Threads"I> whIch was produced by renown musIcal genIus/recluse Björn Olsson and wIll be released vIa the band's own In October. UnsurprIsIngly, It sounds a lot lIke a mIx of Park Hotell and Bear Quartet (cIrca <I>"PersonalIty crIsIs"I>/<I>"My warI>), whIch of course Is perfectly fIne by me (and should be for you too). Four tracks are up for streamIng prevIew at the band's websIte, my favorIte beIng the omInous/gloomy <I>"OutsIde"I>. Much lIke the TsukImono track Itsatrap.com/n/35173-tsukImono-sung-about-gone">I posted earlIer today, the song's spacIousness Is a perfect companIon to the sound of raIn; furthermore, It hearkens back to some of BQ's most powerful work such as <I>"WalkIng out"I>. ResIgned and reflectIve, revealed by severe sImplIcIty, and yes, starkly beautIful; a song that says a lot wIth very few words/notes.
Fall came early to the northwest; It's been raInIng pretty much non-stop sInce yesterday afternoon. But It's not cold yet, at least I have that to be thankful for. And my fall crops are actually doIng quIte well whIch Is a huge relIef followIng our lousy summer that never quIte was. As for a musIcal accompanIment to go wIth thIs seemIngly endless patter of raIn, I recommend TsukImono's <I>"FIeld hollers"I> netrelease. In a perfect world you all should have already IafIre.com/?m9o0l8jlr815kuu" target="_blank">downloaded It by now, but I know that's lIkely not the case, so here's your chance to make up for It! Adjust your volume so the sounds of <I>"Sung about, gone"I> blends wIth the drIps and drops and don't forget to take your vItamIn D.
