Ive been busy testing our duets and solos to eventually make them publicly available. It's been a nice trip down memory lane, remembering how we got started as bards.

Bellows - "For Rock Dove"

Since their quietly devastating 2011 debut, As If To Say I Hate Daylight, Bellows have been one of the New York indie rock scene's best-kept secrets. Led by Oliver Kalb, the quartet of folk-minded troubadours with big feelings is set to release their sophomore follow-up, Blue Breath, next week on Impose. On lead single "For Rock Dove", the band immediately displays progression by going for a much more epic sound than on their debut, smearing electronic grit over pastoral finger-picking and twee confessionals, building up to a widescreen refrain that borrows structurally from drummer Felix Walworth's side project Told Slant. "For Rock Dove", cathartic and honest without ever sliding into overbearing melodrama, ably demonstrates that Bellows is absolutely ready for prime-time. I'll be surprised if the rest of the record isn't this good.
