Bell Weather Department have meticulously crafted all the pieces of their musical puzzle together over their relatively short existence as a band. From sharing stages with the crème de la crème of Australia’s indie scene (The Holidays, Boy & Bear, Papa vs. Pretty, Ernest Ellis, DZ Deathrays, Hunting Grounds & WIM), to scoring rave reviews for their killer live shows, major props from many an über blog, and sweet digs nation-wide via the wireless, Bell Weather Department have conjured up a musical force to be reckoned with.
‘The Pursuit Of Blue’ is the first single to arrive from Bell Weather Department’s forthcoming debut LP, set for release in 2012. ‘The Pursuit Of Blue’ blends the heart pounding pace of the bands live shows with the atmospheric textures of some of their earlier demos, reflecting the kaleidoscopic nature of Bell Weather Department‘s music. It throws forward the notion of being transported from a place of comfort into a world of chaos, yet retains a sense of serene euphoria throughout.
The single release of Bell Weather Department‘s ‘The Pursuit Of Blue’ is being backed up with another sneak peek from the forthcoming LP with the online release of the live favourite, ‘Back In Time’. Both tracks are available from December 2.
