Reworked Remixed - Album

Chimes & Bells Is The Brainchild Of 26 Year Old Danish Singer And Cellist Cæcilie Trier. The Classically Trained Multi-Instrumentalist Has Long Been A Major Part Of The Copenhagen Indie Scene Performing With Several Renowned Bands Including The Highly Acclaimed Choir Of Young Believers. Formed In 2008 Chimes & Bells Was Quickly Signed To Local Copenhagen Indie Label Tigerspring And The Debut EP ”Into Pieces Of Wood” Was Released In Denmark In February 2009 To Rave Reviews. The Band Had Played Only A Handful Of Shows In Their Homeland Before Going To London In Early July To Perform At The Wireless Festival In Hyde Park And The EP Has Recently Been Released In The UK With Legendary Label Bella Union. The Music Of Chimes & Bells Defies Formal Genre Definitions But Contains Elements Of Noise Rock Art Pop Shoegazer And R&b. On “Into Pieces Of Wood” Slow Brooding And Circular Song Structures Are Seamlessly Intertwined With Dark Gleaming ”diamond-In-The-Rough” Pop Melodies And Climatic Explosions Of Melodic Noise Rock. Cæcilies Deep Booming Soulful Voice – Almost A Force Of Nature In Itself - Combined With The Shuffling Gritty And Organic Groove Of The Band Creates A Massive Yet Hauntingly Beautiful Soundscape Centered Around Layered Vocal Harmonies Cello Organ Guitar Bass And Drums. While ”Into Pieces Of Wood” Explores A Meditative Almost Hypnotic Feeling The New And Upcoming Material Embraces Pop Structures And Catchy Melodies To A Larger Degree And Introduces Elements Of Roots R&b And A Ramshackle Almost Bluesy Minimalism. The Band Is Currently Working On New Recordings And A Full Lenght Album Is Expected In Early 2010. Cæcilie Trier Has Formerly Been A Member Or Contributor Of Several Bands Including Le Fiasko Choir Of Young Believers Atoi And Jong Pang. read less
