Animal Bells

Geoff O'Connor, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Melbourne quartet the Crayon Fields, is a myopic boy genius whose record collection consists almost solely of op-shop vinyl LPs released before 1970, Consequently, the Crayon Fields play intricate, atmospheric pop songs that recall the minor key majesty and close-knit harmonies of 60s maestros such as the Zombies, the Byrds and the Beach Boys, Animal Bells is the Crayon Fields' debut album, after releasing two previous independent EPs, The album title refers to the animal-shaped toy bells that were used throughout the album and link its 12 concise songs, Basic tracks were recorded at Sub Studios with engineer Simon Knight earlier this year, then taken home to be polished into their final, shimmering shapes, Now with the multi-layered, resonant and gorgeous Animal Bells, it's time for the Crayon Fields to step forward and be counted among Australia's finest, most intriguing bands.
