- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
One of Ireland's top-selling recording artists for over half a decade and a
favorite of music supervisors for tastemaker shows like Grey's Anatomy, One
Tree Hill and The O.C., Bell X1 are a mainstream phenomenon with cult cred.
The Irish rockers are bona fide arena-rocking superstars in their home
country and sport an ever-growing rabid contingent of U.S. fans being
multiplied by the day by serious commercial radio love, including Top 10 hit
''The Great Defector.'' Bloodless Coup marks the band's fifth album and as
many marriages of the proven Bell X1 formula with fresh musical textures.
This time, the band blends electronic musings with the hook-laden song craft
of songwriter and vocalist Paul Noonan. The result is touching songs with
propulsive, addictive sonics. Noonan's subject matter ranges from the Irish
financial meltdown, to ideal love and the euphoria that can be brought on
getting your hands dirty. With Bloodless Coup, Bell X1 yet again walks the
tightrope between radio-ready hits and the sophisticated imagery that has
become its signature.
