Bell Hollow [New Artist]
Bell Hollow make bittersweet dream pop, singing songs both melodic and mysterious.
Formed in 2003 by bassist Christopher Bollman and guitarist Greg Fasolino, the Brooklyn-based quartet were inspired by the atmospheric British rock of the Eighties and related genres like shoegaze, new wave, and indie-rock, building on authentic experience as members of old-school NYC post-punk bands like The Naked and the Dead and The Children's Zoo. When frontman Nick Niles (originally from Sacramento, CA) came aboard in 2005, the unique Bell Hollow sound was finally realized.
Impressive reviews for the band's shimmering songs led to their signing with new NYC indie label five03 Records, who released Bell Hollow's first official EP, "Sons of the Burgess Shale" in October 2006.
Bell Hollow recorded their debut full-length "Foxgloves" at Water Music in Hoboken, NJ in summer 2007, invigorated by new drummer Todd Karasik (formerly with indie-pop cult heroes My Favorite), who replaced original member Hayden Millsteed in late 2006. The 10-song album, again recorded with producer/engineer Hillary Johnson (also the band's live synth player), was released in November 2007 on five03. A spring 2008 tour to support the album is in the works.
