BELL: EP
Label: self-released
It’s a sure thing, peeps: Olga Bell is a star in the making. This delightful collection of six songs hover somewhere between the breathing bombast of St. Vincent and the laptop electro-twirls of Bjork’s Vespertine. BELL’s vocal melodies are always beautiful, catchy and soaring. “Expanding File” begins at double-time, pausing every once in a while to assert a click or beep and culminating in a stadium-rock reverb cacophony of BELL’s harmonizing. It ends up playing out as something akin to the Guillemots in that it is astronomically catchy and is best for long drives or train rides to a place where there are a lot of trees. (Andrew)
