<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">Bohemian rock’n’roll is the essence of what you will hear on
<b><i>Heartstrings</i></b>, <b>Howling Bells’</b> incredible new album. The quartet, which originated in Sydney, recorded and produced the record in London with
</span><b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">Catherine J. Marks</span></b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black"> (Foals, PJ Harvey) and the legendary
<b>Alan Moulder</b> (My Bloody Valentine, The Killers, Depeche Mode). The band laid down one track per day for 11 days, and the result is an album that spans the piano-led chamber pop of “<b>Paper Heart,</b>” the MBV-go-Spector fuzz-tune landscapes of “<b>Your
Love</b>” – and overall, positions front woman <b>Juanita Stein</b>’s honeyed vocals in “a really stark, cold dark place.”
