Bell X1
The Ribs Of A Broken Umbrella - Bell X1 Single Review
Single Review
Musing Paul Noonan led Irish outfit, Bell X1 has levelled out a little since starting out with a swooning, melody splashed and reflective debut album ('Neither Am I'). This snippet from their fourth studio album, lays out a growing gospel slant on top of well polished instrumental backing, led by the rising keys of Marc Aubele.
Pitching their sound between the heartening pop of Hothouse Flowers and the mystical, sun kissed edge of Elbow, 'The Ribs of a Broken Umbrella' bears out the continuing foraging nature and philosophy delving tendencies of these amiable Irish men.
