:: release notes.
::
:: hmv.co.uk July 2003
:: 'Music In Mouth' is the new album from Dublin-based
:: quartet Bell X1. The band are Paul Noonan, Brian Crosby,
:: David Geraghty and Dominic Phillips, who have made music
:: together in many guises since the early 90s. The album
:: was recorded over the course of 2002 in a series of
:: locations from Ridge Farm Studios in Surrey and The
:: Fallout Shelter in London, to various houses in Dublin,
:: Kilkenny and London. 'Music In Mouth' was recorded by
:: Jamie Cullum (Tom McRae, Perry Blake). Notable guests on
:: the record include Olli Kraus (Beth Orton) on cello and
:: Margaret White (Sparklehorse) on vocals and violin.
:: While they're not overly keen to blow their own
:: collective trumpet it is certainly true that repeated
:: playing of `Music In Mouth' reveals its depths. Whether
:: that's in the ingenious central idea of opening track
:: 'Snakes And Snakes' (there are no ladders), or the
:: equally satisfying picture that I'll see 'Your Heart' and
:: 'Raise You Mine' conjures; whether it's the way the banjo
:: sounds like an eastern instrument in 'Alphabet Soup', the
:: simple elegiac qualities and atmosphere of 'Bound For
:: Boston Hill', or the neo-folk jug band eroticism and
:: exuberance in 'West Of Her Spine', these are songs that
:: stick around and make their presence welcome. Put simply,
:: 'Music In Mouth' should show the world that Bell X1 are a
:: band that have something for everyone. Includes the
:: single 'White WaterSong'.
::
:: 'And so the Irish invasion picks up pace, as Kildare's
:: Bell X1 spring from the traps. More robust than the
:: Thrills, closer to the finished article than the
:: Basement, Bell X1 have been four years honing their
:: sound. This is rock with gusto and drive and confidence
:: and intent, Radiohead as Radiohead should sound now. It
:: puts down a brave marker' - NME
