Post War Years continue their foray into big, bold and remarkably fizzy pop with new single ‘The Bell’. Produced by James Rutledge, whose previously credits include MGMT, Grizzly Bear and The Kills, ‘The Bell’ is perhaps PWY’s most confident statement of intent to date. Shimmering in all the right places and oft bordering on the euphoric heights of the tracks obvious influencers (Prince, Depeche Mode), the single comes packaged with remixes by Everything Everything and The Invisible and drops via Chess Club Records on October 29.
