Howling Bells return with their first new album in over a decade.
The Australian trio's version of hypnotic indie-rock always stood separate from the pack and very much a reflection of their unbreakable union.
Equal parts sepia-toned romance and gritty rocknroll thrills.
Together with long term collaborator Ben Hillier, in the producers chair 'Strange Life' is an album that harnesses the unique musical perspective that pricked up the music worlds ears back in their beginnings, but transposes it onto a lifetimes more experience, Strange Life is both familiar and new; a record that will unfurl like an old friend to long term fans whilst speaking in a language that only hard-won experience and a few more trips around the sun can understand.
It may be a Strange Life and a weird old world, but it sounds better with Howling Bells back in it.
