The Captain's Daughter

by Eight Bells

supported by

Ken Goodey I've been considering Eight Bells for a while now – I wasn't exactly sure whether I liked them, or whether it was just a passing interest. I finally decided to buy Landless & this, and now I can honestly say it’s definitely a ‘like’. Grand soundscapes; soaring guitars; heavy drums, and an appropriate combination of harmonised, melodic vocals and raw, yelled vocals. As for a genre category, well, your guess is as good as mine, but then that’s always been a positive for me. Favorite track: Yellowed Wallpaper.

Paul Schwarz If _Killing Technology_ (1987) had a baby with some sort of space rock; Eight Bells really are an "incredible" band from Portalnd, OR. Wow. Now who can get them to Europe for a full tour synched w Roadburn? Favorite track: Fate and Technology.

about

Eight Bells Portland, Oregon

"Wraithlike vocals and numbed melodies hanging over pinprick prog fretwork... The pulse of ethereal '70s rock – from Pink Floyd to Hawkwind's more celestial moments... Dual vocal lines emanate from some unseen place, sometimes braided together in a conjoined plea for connection... Heartbreakingly beautiful."
–Pitchfork ... more

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

It's haunting. It's chaos. It's energy. It's fatigue. It's happiness. It's sadness. It's love. It's hate. This is close to the perfect black metal album for me. Marcello Velasco

I have owned this digital release for some time but wanted to go back and support Jayn's project in the most positive, physical-release way possible. She's a triumphant and majestic executor of the doom-laden mantle of melancholy. Tyme
