The Bell + Curtis Vodka

YAY for Sweden! Just when i thought you’d left me or gone into hibernation, you come back with a little bit of musical love for me. The Bell is a soothing breath of fresh air in the bloghouse world. ‘I Am History’ is the first single off the LP and sounds like an upbeat Interpol song b/c of the echoing, melodic guitars and he has that powerful, brooding voice like Paul’s. The second track got reworked by Curtis Vodka. I love the fact that he takes himself lightly enough to label it the ‘stereotypical techno remix.’ Are flat, bouncy basslines that stereotypical?
The album, Make Some Quiet will be out on Badman Recording Co in early sep/oct. Check out the label, they also put out My Morning Jacket, Pleasant Grove and numerous other bands worth checking out.

Hey, I’m swedish and I’d never even heard of ‘em. Thanks! Btw Fox’n'Wolf are pretty swedish as well. We haven’t left you, we’re just somewhat uneven…

nice melody, that first track
second remix doesn’t do much for me… it’s very slow in it’s upbuild and it would mix better in the minimal genre than in the indie electronic genre.
