CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Bell Hollows debut full length, ""Foxgloves"" infuses modern musical currents with a rich combination of shadowy post punk and shoe-gaze. Contemplative, bittersweet and sensual, the songs entrance and ensnare with an oceanic pull. Throughout the record, singer Nick Niles melodies slice through the turbid soundscape of Christopher Bollmans rolling bass and Greg Fasolinos atmospheric guitar. Backed by Todd Karasiks ardent drumming, the band creates stirring, memorable songs. ""Foxgloves"" certainly has its classic touchstones (The Cure, The Smiths, Cocteau Twins) but the sonic, thematic and lyrical content on the album showcase Bell Hollows originality.

CD ReviewsPost-punk, 80s referesh album Nathan Beauchamp | Oak Park, IL USA | 12/28/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "Genres and sub-genres annoy me. I know they're a necessary evil, and that they help the less industrious music fan dig through mounds of music and hopefully come up with something that jives with their tastes. However, there comes a point when genre, sub-genre, and sub-sub-genre classifications become more of a distraction than a meaningful way of choosing music. To say that the New York band Bell Hollow is "post-punk" or "dream-scape 80s refresh" is needlessly hyper classifying otherwise elegantly simple and enjoyable music. FOXGLOVES, aside from pontification and sub-genre classification, is a listenable album.
Sadly, while I enjoy most of the music, I cannot engage with the vocals. Lead singer Nike Nile's voice just doesn't do it for me. I know that is highly subjective, and you may love his voice, but I don't and that makes this album tougher for me to enjoy. I still give it 3 stars because the music itself is good if not great. There is little here that is edgy or super original, nothing that grabs the listener and forces them to pay attention. Successful at being average, this is an album that I won't find myself listening to often." |
