The Bells
The Ultimate Seaside Companion
[HitIt!]
Rating: 8.9
After listening to this CD, I have just one burning,
itching question: what the hell does the picture of the
girl playing the accordion on the cover have to do with
this CD? There are no accordions in here whatsoever --
and believe me, I have an ear for accordions.
But I have to say I really liked this recording. The music
is slow, Louisiana-swamp lounge music, and Chris Connelly's
vocal style is more reminiscent of early Bowie
than ever. It's sad music to listen to, but in a sort of
"I'm- too- tired- to- kill- myself- pass- the- bottle- please" kind of way
as opposed to the usual "I'm- watching- myself- bleed- to- death." kind of way.
