/Avant-garde, Doo wop, No Wave, Psychedelia, New Weird America, Acousmatic, Sampledelic, Cut and paste, Experimentalism, Sound collage, Avant-electronica/


Comment: Native Bells (by listening to it, however, I have a permanent temptation to name it as Native Belle) is a New York-based project having played out one of the most refreshing albums of the year 2011 to date. They have managed to specialize in concept records and extended plays making out Faust-esque rhythm structures, Free Design-hued doo wop and a capella choppiness, careless jazz overthrows, carnival whirls and curves, cock-eyed pace outbursts, vanguard electronica/experiments with sine waves, lush ethno/sampledelica notches, in a nutshell juxtaposing all the stuff off somewhere against Animal Collective and Gang Gang Dance and krautrock and plunderphonics and BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the No Wave tradition. People let`s dance.
