Description
The brushed snare stutter two minutes into Air Lines/Land Lines jumps forward in the room on this 2LP of Bell Orchestre’s As Seen Through Windows. Their second album trades in kinetic, horn-led instrumentals that swell and contract like a living ensemble, not a plug-in. Strings, trumpet and French horn tangle with drumkit grooves, then peel back to reveal little room breaths. Stripes leans on wiry violin figures before the rhythm section clamps down, while Elephants rides a muted trumpet line that feels both playful and tense. Spread over two discs, the space opens up and the low end sits deeper, so crescendos breathe without smearing. You can sit with it start to finish, or let it soundtrack a late drive. File it beside Do Make Say Think and the late-2000s Montreal post-rock wave, but Bell Orchestre keep things punchier and more tactile. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Bell Orchestre records online with us. We spin it in the shop on rainy afternoons, it lifts the room without shouting. Sequencing still hits like a live set, dynamics intact. For those who like their post-rock nimble rather than moody, this one earns repeat spins.
