Howling Bells promote their new single 'Wishing Stone' on Bella Union with a live show at your favourite London venue.
They?ve got the looks, they?ve got the style, they?ve got the swagger? and most of all, they?ve got the tunes! Tonight they play a set of new tracks from their forthcoming debut album recorded with renowned Coldplay producer Ken Nelson, due for release in the Spring. Their live set sees them deliver an intoxicating collection of killer tracks lurching from blues-fuelled rock to country-folk lamentations, mixing tuneful melodies, glorious soundscapes with dagger-like, incisive drumming and rhythmic bass.

Liverpool's Hot Club De Paris play in support of their forthcoming Moshi Moshi release of skewif pop and taut eclecticism that's sparse like the Minutemen, fast like Black Flag and tuneful like Pavement.
What more could you want?
"Mazarin
is as spangled, as soaring an indie pop record as anything else we're likely to wistfully smile over this year." [Pitchfork 8/10]
Los Angeles-based trio Devics promote their new Bella Union release 'Push The Heart', out in March, by delivering a set of dark atmospherics as they imaginatively weave together singer Sara Lov's intimate whispered voice with piano, guitar and cello, alongside subtle electronic details. Think Serge Gainsbourg, Mojave 3 or Blonde Redhead.
