Vancouver’s Belle Game return with their sophomore record, Fear/Nothing. Produced by Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) and David Hamelin (The Stills), Fear/Nothing yields 10 spacious tracks, balancing the lavender glaze of dream pop with reverberating feedback and pop-star massive choruses.
They will open for Pickwick at 7th Street Entry on 10/10 – Tickets are available HERE
Over 3 years writing and recording in apartments, studios, derelict houses between Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, the band discovered an entirely new sound which they describe as “crush pop”. The mood of Fear/Nothing, released September 8 is malleable – with moments of triumph meeting feelings of doubt. One moment buckling under pressure or existential confusion and the next you feel yourself soaring through the clouds with Andrea Lo’s expansive vocals. A songwriting residency at the Banff Centre in 2014 was meant to yield a follow-up to the band’s acclaimed debut Ritual Tradition Habit. However, once they got going, the sessions proved less about the traditional music industry “follow-ups” and more about the creative process of layering textures, experimenting with sounds, improvising and discovering a new voice.
