Knievel: The Name Rings A Bell That Drowns Out Your Voice
If there was ever a need for squeaky-clean guitar pop, Aussie blokes Knievel deliver with an album full of tracks that showcase the bands haunting and bruised songs about letting the past roll off of ones back in a mid-day reverie. The Name Rings A Bell That Drowns Out Your Voice is the bands first release in America (they have two previous albums, We Fear Change and Steep Hill Climb released in Australia). Piquant guitar melodies and ethereal vocal harmonies steer this disc into an emotive lullaby. With track titles such as The End of Trying, I Keep On Waiting and Whos On My Side, one might wonder if all is well in the land down under. Front man Wayne Connolly seems eager to move on with his life when he sings about how little things pile up and cant be swept away. The albums highlight, Faces On The Journey again tells about the uncertainty of lifes journey amid haunting layers of acoustic guitars and mystic organ melodies. Full use of reverb, delay, organ and Connollys smooth vocals give the album a spacey, tripped out feel that will have you closing your eyes and nodding your head to the rhythm before you know it. This album is recommended if you are a fan of Buffalo Tom, The Posies, and/or Death Cab For Cutie. The American release date is set for March 5th on Quietly Suburban.
