Howling Bells return with there first new album in over a decade. The Australian trio's version of hypnotic indie-rock always stood separate from the pack and very much a reflection of their unbreakable union.

Equal parts sepia-toned romance and gritty rock'n'roll thrills. Together with long term collaborator Ben Hillier, in the producer's chair 'Strange Life' is an album that harnesses the unique musical perspective that pricked up the music world's ears back in their beginnings, but transposes it onto a lifetime's more experience, 'Strange Life' is both familiar and new; a record that will unfurl like an old friend to long term fans whilst speaking in a language that only hard-won experience and a few more trips around the sun can understand.

It may be a 'Strange Life' and a weird old world, but it sounds better with Howling Bells back in it.
