Our Take

LESS BELLS has truly crafted a mesmerising sonic journey with their latest album, "Mourning Jewelry." The ethereal soundscape they have produced is as if Kate Bush and Brian Eno had a love child whilst listening to Sigur Rós on a rainy day in Reykjavik.

From the opening track, "Valentine," you are immediately transported to a dreamlike state where time and space seem to blur together. The haunting vocals and hypnotic instrumentation create a sense of melancholy that is both beautiful and unsettling.

Tracks like "Fog Tree" and "In Lands I Never Saw" showcase the band's ability to blend ambient textures with intricate melodies, resulting in a sonic tapestry that is both otherworldly and deeply emotive.

However, it is on the closing track, "Solastalgia," where LESS BELLS truly shine. The haunting piano accompaniment and soaring vocals create a sense of catharsis that is both heart-wrenching and uplifting.

"Mourning Jewelry" is a masterclass in atmospheric composition, and a testament to the band's unique ability to evoke raw emotion through their music. It is a truly captivating listen that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who hear it.
