This Friday Belles Will Ring will bring their new single, Come North With Me Baby, Wow to The Gaelic Hotel. Equal parts the blameless blues of Morphine and the retro-quirk of Belle and Sebastian, these Blue-Mountaineers know how to make your memory pine for places it never went.
Featuring distorted guitar lines and a dusty mariarchi brass section, Come North With Me Baby, Wow is evocative and deftly nostalgic, with the dreamy drone-pop edge that made 2007's debut, Mood Patterns, and 2008's mini-album, Broader Than Broadway, perfect soundtracks for summer.
Recorded in the Blue Mountains with frontman Liam Judson presiding once again over the production controls, the single is accompanied by a remix of Come To My Village by Cloud Control's Alister Wright. It includes a lush B-side beauty, Old Man Tomorrow, with Lauren Crew on lead vocals for the first time.
Come North With Me Baby, Wow is pastoral psych-pop styling at its best, and with support from acousmatics Guineafowl and new-wavers Magnetic Heads, Belles Will Ring promise to entertain at The Gaelic or, if nothing else, provide an otherworldly backdrop to your night of whimsical drinking.
