LIKE BELLS

Oberlin, OH

about +
Like Bells is an ambient/indie rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in 2006 when they were students at Oberlin College, their music veers from hard-edged, intricate rock to slower, plaintive meditations evocative of their rural Ohio roots.

Their debut LP was released in the spring of 2009 by Cleveland-based Exit Stencil Records, and was hailed by Cool Cleveland as "deliciously brilliant, ambient-minded stuff." The music blogosphere also responded favorably: Coke Machine Glow rated it a 72/100, Comfort Comes called their debut "a brilliant first attempt...Like Bells is ahead of the curve," and Orange Alert wrote that "they have created an indie gem full of life, Americana, thought, and movement." NPR has featured Like Bells' music on "Weekend Edition."

They have spent numerous weeks on the road across the Midwest and East Coast, including recently performing in the 2009 CMJ music marathon and at the Rooftop Film Festival. They are currently working on their foliow-up LP, to be released in the spring of 2010.
