Like Bells Chimes In


It only seems appropriate that the second I go on a tirade about post-rock, along comes yet another band that fits into that category that's actually quite good.

Introducing, Like Bells. Predominantly instrumental, this trio of Oberlin College / Conservatory students don't shy away from a catchy melody and songs of pop-song length...utilizing their instruments to their fullest (violin /viola, guitar, drums, cpu) to create songs and arrangements that are both beautifully complex and accessible.

Sounding something like the Dirty Three meets Godspeed and maybe even Do Make Say think, their songs are melodic and pretty damn good. Their album hasn't come out yet, but you can check out a couple of songs from it.
