Sun-Scorched Songs of Sorrow
The second of three themed EPs that will form my next album.
This one is about our relationship with the physical world: primarily the climate crisis, and the systems of capitalism that prevent us from tackling it.
Long Low Light
A double B-side: two prog-folk songs with a sci-fi influence.
Late Night Letters
The first of three installments of my next album. As part of the process of making the album, I'm releasing it as three themed EPs.
"I can say unreservedly that I’ve never heard music arranged and performed in quite this way before, and Bell’s facility with her instruments and her innate confidence in her material is a wonderful thing to witness."
Invisible Threads
Here are three new tracks which were going to be on my next album – until I realised that the album was becoming too big and unwieldy and unfocused, and that if I took these three songs out, they would make a nice EP, and it would leave the album more cohesive as a result. The album isn’t ready yet, but these tracks are, so... here they are.
Septemberlight
Single track – a new recording of this song that appeared on the Invisible Threads EP. Now with drums and electric guitar!
"Roll As A Hexagon is a solid showcase of Bell's multi-instrumental talents and her impressive vocal timbre (a voice that contains equal parts grit and gloss, and calls to mind the rich twang of the likes of Nancy Kerr or Kate Bush). Moreover, it is a masterpiece of compositional creativity. Catchy riffs and soaring melodies go hand in hand with jaunty time signatures, satisfyingly unpredictable shifting harmonies, and lyrics of a beautiful clarity and quality."
Emily Crossland, composer
