TRACKLISTING
The Ribs Of A Broken Umbrella
Lifted from their fourth studio album, BLUE LIGHTS ON THE RUNWAY the band's first new material since 2007's FLOCK, Irish four piece Bell X1 return here with THE RIBS OF A BROKEN UMBRELLA.
Already making sizable waves in the US off the back of a record deal with Yep Rock, sold out tours and high profile soundtrack contributions, not to mention multi platinum status on their Irish home turf, BLUE LIGHTS ON THE RUNWAY is the record that you'd imagine would propel them to similar status worldwide.
THE RIBS OF A BROKEN UMBRELLA see Bell X1 mixing indie guitar tropes with subtly experimental beats, lovelorn whimsy set to downbeat electronica. Frontman Paul Noonan sets his heartfelt croon against processed piano chords and synths, echoes of Deacon Blue and Talking Heads blurring wistfully against the more bombastic bluster of Coldplay or U2.
Another solidly effective single from Bell X1, THE RIBS OF A BROKEN UMBRELLA continues to see this outfit delivering music to dream to and lose yourself in.
