Formed in 2015 during their late adolescent years in Sydney, Australia, the act has proven to be a mainstay in the alternative underground musical landscape both in their homeland and overseas during their five-year history. Blurring the lines of post-punk and garage rock,\u00a0Death Bells\u00a0has morphed and transformed as the two members have grown up throughout their late teenage years living together into early adulthood. With Canning\u2019s distinctive baritone and the kinetic collection of reverb-drenched leads by Veselis being a constant during their musical output, the two made the permanent move 7,000 miles away to Los Angeles, California in 2018 where the current incarnation of\u00a0Death Bells\u00a0has blossomed. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the releases of their debut E.P, much-loved first album, and seven-inch single on\u00a0Funeral Party Records\u00a0and their 2019 single on\u00a0Metropolitan Indian,\u00a0Death Bells have joined the\u00a0Dais Records\u00a0family for their highly anticipated sophomore album\u00a0\u2018New Signs of Life\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years in the making, the release sees the act embrace their diverse tastes to deliver unforgettable hooks and more expansive sounds across its nine graceful songs.\u00a0\u00a0Engineered and mixed under the attentive eye of Colin Knight at Paradise Studios throughout mid-to-late 2019,\u00a0\u2018New Signs of Life\u2018\u00a0is the band\u2019s most complete work to date. Along with classic\u00a0Death Bells&#8217; brooding romanticism, the themes of the record divulge personal insight into their move across the world and both the strained and new relationships that have materialized throughout their existence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album is as advertised &#8211; it is the career-defining new chapter to commence the new decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?fit=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"Death Bells New Signs Of Life cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-34570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?w=1080 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C9428DC9-65D1-4143-AD95-26377FD22681.jpeg?resize=768%2C768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>New Signs of Life\u2019 track listing<\/strong><br>1.
