Sublime orchestration from Montreal's #1 non-rock band. This is no moonlighting effort, but a generous, lush and supremely intelligent work conveying messages of profound beauty, isolation, longing and hope. Probably more authentic than the innumerable comparisons suggest, the Bell Orchestre are best left unlabelled for now. Cocteau Twins, Arvo Pärt, Elliot Carter, late Talk Talk...of course they're all there, but 'greater than the sum of it's parts' has never been more aptly applied than here. Don't make the same mistake I did and lose the sequence to iTunes - there is distinct method to the progression from 1-10, with 'The Gaze' marking the apex of an hour long adventure you will want to both keep secret and tell everybody about!
