Our Take

TREMBLING BELLS have never been a band to shy away from the weird and wonderful, and their latest offering, "Wide Majestic Aire," is no exception. This album is a rollercoaster of sonic experimentation, taking the listener on a journey through psychedelic folk, classic rock, and even a touch of country twang.

From the opening track, "I Made a Date (With an Open Vein)," it's clear that TREMBLING BELLS are not afraid to push boundaries and defy genre conventions. Lead vocalist Lavinia Blackwall's haunting vocals soar over a sea of swirling guitars and pounding drums, creating a sound that is at once ethereal and earthy.

Tracks like "Christ's Entry into Govan" and "Loving Knives" showcase the band's ability to mix traditional folk melodies with modern production techniques, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and utterly contemporary. The album's title track, "Wide Majestic Aire," is a sprawling epic that builds to a cacophonous crescendo, leaving the listener breathless and exhilarated.

In a music industry that often prioritises style over substance, TREMBLING BELLS are a refreshing reminder that true artistry is alive and well. "Wide Majestic Aire" is a triumph of creativity and innovation, and further solidifies TREMBLING BELLS' status as one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene. Don't sleep on this album - it's a wild and wonderful ride that you won't want to miss out on.
