BELLS IN NEW TOWNS!

Landing are one of the very few long-lived bands out there to have had their entire career be a high point.  They consistently deliver the goods and have constantly been evolving, moving easily between long psych-jams and shorter, blurry, dreampop nuggets.  Their latest release, BELLS IN NEW TOWNS, falls into the latter category.  More than anything, it feels like the spiritual successor to 2012’s self-titled comeback release although, where that album boasted shorter, dreamy, drifting pop gems, BELLS has a grittier feel.  Not lo-fi, just deliberately less-polished and generally more driving.  Like everything else Landing has ever done, this one is not to be missed.  A digitally savvy band, the vast majority of their recorded output is available over at Bandcamp.  Why the hell would you ever bother wasting your time listening to the radio again?
