Any better,
We couldn’t get any better
-Bel Heir
It's not often while that you find a new band in which you love all their music ever made, especially when all their music is free to download.
A few months ago I was perusing my emails from noisetrade.com, and after way too many emails to count, I stumbled across Bel Heir.
Bel Heir is that rare gem of a band I was talking about.
From the first listen of ‘Envy’, I was hooked and immediately downloaded everything that was available and continued to listen on repeat for weeks. When I reached that point after listening where I needed to know more, I found their Tumblr, and just when I thought I couldn’t love them any more I read about their year long journey.
Bel Heir released one single and accompanying B-side each month, for a year – two songs a month, twenty four songs over the course of a year. It was what I could only imagine to be a heavy feat... which was brilliantly accomplished; resulting in dreamy, intoxicating music for everyone to enjoy. Smooth vocals, intriguing beats and not to mention aesthetically pleasing artwork, Bel Heir is one of my favourite new bands of the year.
When the beginning of this month rolled around, I excitedly awaited the new music to listen to. Unfortunately I missed the small detail of the date of original Tumblr post (which was July 2013). But being the amazing, generous band they are, Bel Heir released all twenty fours songs in one magical album '12 // 24' (with an A and B side, naturally) for download free on their official website.
The album is still available to download, and if I were you, I wouldn’t miss out on the opportunity. Check out some of my favourite songs listed in the photo above, and listen to the song that got me hooked below.
