about
The new single from LA-based (from Australia) post-punk outfit Death Bells.
"With “Intruder”, we attempted to dive into the grisly mythology of Los Angeles - looking for a sound that echoes the spirited past of the city we’ve found ourselves living in.” - Death Bells, October 2021
Death Bells is the longtime musical collaboration between Will Canning and Remy Veselis. Formed in 2015 during their late adolescent years in Sydney, Australia, the act has proven to be a mainstay in the alternative underground musical landscape both in their homeland and overseas during their five-year history. Blurring the lines of post-punk and garage rock, Death Bells has morphed and transformed as the two members have grown up throughout their late teenage years living together into early adulthood. With Canning’s distinctive baritone and the kinetic collection of reverb-drenched leads by Veselis being a constant during their musical output, the two made the permanent move 7,000 miles away to Los Angeles, California in 2018 where the current incarnation of Death Bells has blossomed.
lyrics
The cadence is wrong,
The King's lost his son,
And I'm gone
These things left alone,
In the streets and at home,
Come undone
The words go unheard,
Just what they'd have preferred,
Anyway
This world is absurd,
But at least we've got an escape
Can't seem to hide it,
We stand divided,
Can't seem to hide it
We'll blister and burn,
Under the sun above,
There's no return,
Can't give it up
We'll blister and burn,
Under the sun above,
There's no return,
Can't give it up
Everything stalls,
Under the weight of control,
It's not your fault
There's purpose in this,
Eventual bliss,
Trust me
Can't seem to hide it,
We stand divided,
Can't seem to hide it
We'll blister and burn,
Under the sun above,
There's no return,
Can't give it up
We'll blister and burn,
Under the sun above,
There's no return,
Can't give it up

This creative San Francisco guitar band melds trip hop, krautrock, My Bloody Valentine-esque noise, and jangle pop hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 19, 2024
The Atlanta trio find an appealing balance between their trademark razor sharp wiry riffage and freewheeling groove. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2024
Still a solid album, but not as impactful as their previous effort, 'The Hearth'.
More restrained than its predecessor, this record is less of a punch in the face and more of a grower, with a lot of its nuances unpacking after a couple of spins.
Great album in line with the quality of the former. Dionysos Nyktelios
