'A majestic piece, abounding with subtleties' - OTHER MUSIC

'Bell Horses surround their songs in watercolor washes of sound, disembodied electronic tones, string arrangements and hovering, manipulated vocals; crackling static and spattering percussion appear and vanish with inscrutable timing - a gorgeous disorientation.' - NEW YORK TIMES

'These 8 songs are filled with emotive and intricate experimental pop, a good balance between string arrangements, electronic touches, and acoustic gentleness. Post-electronica, ambient, and sometimes psychedelic, this is an abstract and accomplished batch of songs.' - IMPOSE MAGAZINE

'A gorgeous dream world where the electronic and the acoustic converge and blur into one gauzy whole. Even at their densest, Bell Horses make an atmospheric, almost weightless style of music, one that will find the listener all too willing to be pulled up into the cosmos with it.' - TREBLE MAGAZINE

'Sounding very much like the proverbial labour of love, This Loves Last Time ultimately registers as a polished and special recording that identifies Bell Horses as a band to watch.' - TEXTURA

'It’s hard to pinpoint the exact sound Bell Horses is going for on this experimental pop album, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable' - ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

'Hawkins’ illusive post-electronica provides an appropriate backdrop for the sometimes
psychedelic, sometimes languid musings they came up with for this album - It’s difficult not to cite His Name Is Alive, Portishead or Cocteau Twins as certain parts float by, and this record can hold it’s head high alongside those giants.' - GO211.com

'A perfect example of artistic fusion resulting in something that is very much a departure from the musicians’ ordinary sound. Jenny’s voice takes on a softer and more ambient effect when mixed with Sybarite’s various synthesised layers.' - WEARS THE TROUSERS

'When the pair unite their divergent backgrounds under the Bell Horses flag, the proceedings are a marriage of Hawkins’ spacey textures and Young’s facility with constructing fragile yet insinuating melodies. This Loves Last Time blends the typical celestial fringe with a grainy, electronic fog. Fans of everything from Spiritualized to Low should find plenty to enjoy.' - ONE TRACK MIND.com
I'm a fan of Jenny's. I saw her in Kansas City last night and just wanted to let you know I bought your CD. I'd only listened to the few tracks you have up prior to buying the CD. I love the entire thing, but Headmess is my favorite. Beautiful work.
