Bell Orchestre's Unreleased Album



Hardly believable, and what a find. While randomly surfing the interweb, I came across a blag called The Torture Garden. I've only glanced at the site briefly, and they have some interesting articles, so check them out.

That's not the point.

The point is, they had an article up back in May releasing a crazy find: the unreleased demo, studio produced (or at least convincingly recorded), self titled album by Bell Orchestre.

For those not in the know, Bell Orchestre is a group of crazy Canadian post-rockers, a good amount of which use it as a side project to the one and only Arcade Fire. They had a nice quick bit of success of with the release of their previous album, Recording A Tape the Colour of Light, but as most members were consumed with Arcade Fire festivities as well as other activities, they've been somewhat out of the musical loop for the last three or so years.

But apparently, instead of simply recording colour and light on a tape, they previously recorded, yet neglected to release, a self titled endeavor which is every bit as epic as their officially released content. I've only given it a quick listen, but from what I've heard, it is an easy rival to Recording A Tape! Definitely winning most notable song is "Noviembre." But The Torture Garden supplies the entire album in zip format. So check it!
