Getting Irie With Bell X1

Learn the name: Bell X1. If your don't know Irish indie stalwarts Bell X1, you need to insert them into your indie music catalog. They're back with a supercharged sound to accompany some past personal favorites in the popular, more subtle singles "Rocky Took A Lover" and "Eve, The Apple of My Eye" off 2004's Music In Mouth.

Bell X1 have a new synth-infused album, Blue Lights on the Runway, out today that'll make you bounce ("The Ribs of a Broken Umbrella"), groove out ("Amelia" and "The Great Defector"), and reminisce about 80's pop ("A Better Band") and 90's alt-rock ("Breastfed") all at the same time! They also show vast range in the hauntingly sweet ballad, "Light Catches Your Face". All ten tracks on the disc can be considered semi- to all-out epic, but not in a way that distracts the ears from the song's intent. Get the new stuff and enjoy the happiness you will feel all throughout your body.
