Introducing…Bell!!!
April 2nd, 2008 . by Jilly
Bell, a New York-based band led by Russian-born, Alaska-raised songstress Olga Bell, is what I’ve been listening to all week, over and over. She has an ethereal voice, that has drawn comparisons to Bjork. If you haven’t heard Bell yet, she has a couple songs streaming on her MySpace.
You may have heard her cover of ‘Its Oh So Quiet’ on Stereogum’s Bjork tribute album, check it out here.
I can’t stop listening to her cover of Radiohead’s ‘On Videotape’/Thom Yorke’s ‘The Eraser’ here.
This is just an adorable cover of Moon River. I always thought that song was lacking xylophone.
She also has an EP for sale for $5 here. That’s a steal, for how good the album is. Isn’t this how music should be distributed? From musician to fan? Cut out the greedy middleman.
