Trembling Bells

About Trembling Bells

Glasgow’s eclectic Trembling Bells was founded in early 2008 by drummer Alex Neilson, an improviser who has played with Jandek, Bonnie Prince Billy, and Current 93, among others. Neilsen formed the group in order to explore more structured, song-based music. The group's debut album, Carbeth, arrived in April 2009 on Honest Jon’s Records; Blackwall’s clear soprano and the group’s acoustic leanings drew acclaim and comparisons to Pentangle, Fairport Convention, the Incredible String Band, and other British folk luminaries of the ‘60s and ‘70s. The group’s live show is just as eclectic as their albums, with brass and accordion players, a dance troupe and films all playing a part in their concerts. ~ Heather Phares
