The Whistles & The Bells is an American experimental alt-rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee, that serves as a moniker for singer-songwriter and producer Bryan Simpson. The band has released two full-length studio albums: The Whistles & The Bells in 2015, [1] and Modern Plagues in 2017. [2] Their music incorporates elements from rock, pop, folk, and electronic genres. [3]
Singer-songwriter Bryan Simpson began the Whistles & the Bells as a solo musical venture, which he says was inspired by a spiritual awakening in 2008. [4] He described the project as an "autobiographical snapshot" of his personal struggle in seeking understanding of a divine creator, or his personal truth about such a being. [5][ better source needed]
For the band's original lineup, Simpson brought in Matt Menefee and Ross Holmes, members of his previous project, progressive bluegrass band Cadillac Sky, with which he had released three albums.[ citation needed]
Simpson self-released the band's eponymous debut album in 2014. [6] On August 7, 2015, the album was reissued globally by New West Records. [7] It was recorded at Sputnik Sound by Grammy Award-winning engineer Vance Powell, and Eddie Spear. All songs were written by Simpson except "Ghost Town" and "Ghetto Gold" (Simpson and Thad Cokrell), and "Last Night God Sang Me a Song" (Ben Kyle and Simpson).
The Stars in My Sky Choir:
The band's second album, Modern Plagues, was released on April 28, 2017, by New West Records. The album features collaborations with The Raconteurs' Brendan Benson and Matt Menefee. Eddie Spear engineered and co-produced the album with Simpson. Simpson described his intention as trying to create the sound of a "cosmic dinner party". [3]
