Artist: Hurricane Bells
Album: Tonight is the ghost
Label: Vagrant
Genre: Rock/Indie
Comments: Promoter: "A mix of somber undercurrents and and chiming guitars, the album is at once plaintive and triumphant, bathed in echo and reverb. Yet there's a looseness, hope, and soulfulness in its melancholic tempest." This album is easily described as "atmospheric," but lucky for us, Hurricane Bells pulls this sound off with depth.
The lead singer's voice is sturdy and solid, often ringing similar to the tones of Grizzly Bear's Edward Droste. A lot of harmonies come in the form of scat chants behind the chorus or verse melody, which makes for a lot going on at times. I would say these songs edge on experimental, but the catchy vocal melodies bring it back to the accessible-ish realm. Start with 1, 5, and 8.
