Bellflur

Bellflur is an up and coming band that just finished tracking their third record at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA. The band has been a part of the DC indie rock scene for the past five years but is now starting to break through to a larger audience. Although music is the primary element of their performances, it is not the only component. Their live shows include large citiy-scape props, costumes, and projections that create an experience beyond the music. Not only do they have an impressive presentation, each musician is outfitted with an arsenal of gear including pedals, synthesizers, triggers, samplers, and effects processors. Their first album, self-titled "bellflur"). is much more spacey and atmospheric; music that is reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and Sigur Ros. Since then their music has grown into something more unique, with heavier riffs, and moving textures.
The band has gone through several personnel changes on the drum set but will soon be welcoming Emerson Williams as their new full time drummer. No matter what your musical tastes, Bellflur presents a live show that is not worth missing. Look for their performance at the Black Cat on April 24th, 2009.
