Following from The Best Music Videos of 2011, Christmas is All Around and Christmas Is All Around – The Mixtape (not end of the year lists, but something to check out..) posted a few days ago comes The Best Albums of 2011! 2011 was a great music year and resulted in some pretty good releases. So, to keep on making this intro short; [...]
'I Suppose' is the second single taken from Bellman's second album The Curse , which was released earlier in the year through Lazy Acre Records. If you're new to Bellman, 'I Suppose' is a pretty good place to start, with the epic orchestral arrangements taking you on a 3 and a half minute journey through the clouds. Wonderful stuff.
'Spaceship, Move Slow!' was one of my favourite discoveries from 2010. It's taken from Bellman's debut album 'Mainly Mute' that was released in 2009. The second album 'The Curse' came out in 2010, while it was rereleased in UK on July 4, 2011 by Lazy Acre Records. 'Mainly Mute' had a overall moody, emotional and [...]
With the release of his first album as well as his shows at Norway's By:Larm, Larvik-based pop outfit Bellman has already made himself a bit of a name in the Scandinavian indie scene. His second album is due for release this week in the UK – mixing various influences and spreading itself across a variety of genres. Alice Tragedy caught Arne on a sunny April day in the busy London, in the midst of an acoustic tour, to ask about the Norwegian scene, cover art, and pop music. The 405: Hi Arne.. [...]
Afternoon all, I hope you're as excited as me about Glastonbury, and what I've decided will be a sensational secret guest performance by Pulp on the Friday evening, to distract from the adrenalised bullshit drifting over from U2. Following on from the triumph of BeatyHeart last week, as they swept the competition aside and took a shade over 50% of the vote, followed some distance behind by the math-rock of Tall Ships and my personal favourite in Niki And The Dove. This week there is (as per usual) a blinding mix of stuff out, and I've picked what I feel [...]
Norwegian artist Bellman will be making his UK live debut next week: 04/27 - Silver Bullet Par, Finsbury Park, London 04/28 - The Regal Rooms, Hammersmith, London
With such a unique and distinguished voice, singer-songwriter Bellman (aka Arne-J Rauan)'s soulful music has found its way into many Norwegian hearts, mine included. With his soft, almost androgyne-like vocals, Bellman makes music that goes in between many genres — all the way from the dreamlike lo-fi pop [...]
Bellman , artistul al cărui album îl aştept de aproape 2 ani, a lansat primul videoclip la piesa Spaceship, Move Slow - coincidental, cea care m-o făcut să mă îndrăgostesc de muzica lui şi să-l urmăresc îndeaproape. Fericita zi pe care o aştept de atâta timp se pare că e 19 Ianuarie 2009. Eu mi-am marcat calendarul, rămâne doar să aşteptăm
Look at this: The Norwegian artist Bellman 's new single, "Spaceship, Move Slow!". I love the atmosphere and feeling he manages to create in his music. The album will be released on January 19 2009, but this single is available in most digital download shops right now. Here are some older tracks from Bellman, all from his website: Bellman - The Holy River (Prince cover) Bellman - All that is beautiful
Norwegian artist Bellman will finally release his long-delayed debut full-length album "Mainly mute" on January 19, 2009. Listen to the first single "Space ship move slow" at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/bellman music
Arne-J Rauan and a few others from Larvik in Norway play in a band called Bellman. Nothing too astounding about that but once you hear 'Spaceship, Move Slow!' you'll probably be like me hanging on every factoid about this collective. The details are sketchy at best at the moment but I sense a robust and meticulously researched wiki entry once their debut drops this winter. 'Spaceship, Move Slow!
