Bell

Add Date: June 28 

Artist: Bell 

Album: Diamonite 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Indie pop 

Comments: Born in Russia and raised in Alaska, Olga Bell is no stranger to harsh winters, which may be the reason why her band's self-released debut album Diamonite is the exact opposite. Glittering synths, surreal lyrics, and warblingly indie vocals make the album a springy pop affair. While the production is oftentimes a little too pristine, and while the band could easily be seen as a musical relative to the likes of Björk and Feist on some of the tracks, Bell is able to deliver an overall appealing album.

Try out tracks 1, 2, 6 and 8 if you're in the mood for some Nordic melodies.
