Stream Bell Gardens’ new album of spectral country hymns

In their prior musical projects Stars Of The Lid and Furry Things, respectively, Brian McBride and Kenneth James Gibson made some of the most beautiful noise to come out of Austin, Texas. They’ve since joined forces as Bell Gardens—a band that marries Stars Of The Lid’s avant-classical drones with Furry Things’ smacked-out shoegaze, but with a distinctly Americana bent. The result is an enormous, elegiac sound that hails from similarly wide-open, lunar country fields as Mojave 3, and evokes Spiritualized in its softer (and more sober) moments.
