2014 repress - Playing music together for over 20 years has given the Bell brothers plenty of time to learn how to build off of one another's strengths as they write, record, and tour. Symbolyst draws on the band's eclectic pool of influences: The Jackon 5's funk, Jung's dream theory, Bergman's existentialism, Baudelaire's prose, and Wright's organic architecture. The distinctly catchy melodies and head-bobbing rhythms are immediately inviting, while the densely layered polyrhythms, harmonies, and countermelodies reveal themselves over multiple listens, making for an incredibly rewarding experience no matter how many times you've heard the album.
