Bells Break Their Towers

Bells Break Their Towers expands their textural palette further, as evidenced on the acoustic hypnosis of 'Flood,' and with the Terry Riley-like ambient propulsions of 'Secret Form of Time,' which turns keyboard lines into cartwheels while overtones exhale into space. Bright make it seem so effortless... their sonorous whirlpools erupt from improvisation but never sound overtly 'jammy,' while their attention to melody, form and instrumental layering buffs to a shine the circular breathing of their rhythms. This is improvised rock you can hum to while you drift into trance states. German minimalist rock as forged by Neu! melds with '70s ambient and modern underground independent rock, sculpting fresh new trajectories in sound. Impeccably recorded, Bells Break Their Towers is a triumphant return for Bright, one of psych rock's most underrated sound spinners.
