Release Notes:
--------------
Bell Hollow make bittersweet dream pop, singing songs both melodic and
mysterious.
Formed in 2003 by bassist Christopher Bollman and guitarist Greg
Fasolino, the Brooklyn-based quartet were inspired by the atmospheric
British rock of the Eighties and related genres like shoegaze, new
wave, and indie-rock, building on authentic experience as members of
old-school NYC post-punk bands like The Naked and the Dead and The
Children's Zoo. When frontman Nick Niles (originally from Sacramento,
CA) came aboard in 2005, the unique Bell Hollow sound was finally
realized.
Impressive reviews for the band's shimmering songs led to their signing
with new NYC indie label five03 Records, who released Bell Hollow's
first official EP, Sons of the Burgess Shale in October 2006.
Bell Hollow recorded their debut full-length Foxgloves at Water Music
in Hoboken, NJ in summer 2007, invigorated by new drummer Todd Karasik
(formerly with indie-pop cult heroes My Favorite), who replaced
original member Hayden Millsteed in late 2006. The 10-song album, again
recorded with producer/engineer Hillary Johnson (also the band's live
synth player), was released in November 2007, and includes "Copper
Crayon," "Eyes Like Planets," "Our Water Burden," "Seven Sisters," and
"The Bottle Tree." A spring 2008 tour to support the album is in the
works.
