Baltimoreans Nathan Bell (ex-Lungfish) and Dave Heumann (Arbouretum) first started playing music together sometime after the start of '99 and definitely before the end of '01. It was soon apparent that they'd hit upon a winning combination - they found an unusual synergy of writing styles that has enabled them, at times, to compose a whole album's worth of songs together in the course of a leisurely afternoon. The style of music that they found themselves playing defies categorization, but has been described by listeners as containing aspects of minimalism, pre-war american blues/folk, and middle eastern and african musics. Throughout the past two years, Human Bell has played shows with: the Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, Joe Lally (ex- Fugazi), Endless Boogie, Warmer Milks, Aminadab, Sir Richard Bishop, Jackie-O MF, Autumn Defense (members of Wilco), Asa Irons (Feathers & Witch), Otto Hauser (Espers), and Tara Jane O'Neil. Human Bell's first official full-length will be released by Thrill Jockey Records (www.thrilljockey.com) on January 29th, 2008. It was mostly recorded in Selbyville, Kentucky by Paul Oldham. It is available for preorder now. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
