"23-year-old Brit Matthew Bell is a versatile multi-instrumentalist, dogged crate-digger, avid sound-collector and eccentric DIY producer. Wielding a vast arsenal of instruments (from staples like bass and guitar to rarer gems like shamisen, glockenspiel and mandolin), he combines his own original music with old breaks and found-sound field-recordings. The result is quirky, beautiful and haunting, bringing together the catchiness and down-to-earth simplicity of pop and folk, the awesome atmospherics of post-rock and the flickering edginess of avant-garde hiphop production. The drums pound and stutter, the bass rolls out smooth and thick, airy guitars float over playful xylophones and in the distance children are laughing and shouting. That`s Bell`s sound. That`s Capuchin.
Bell currently resides in Kochi, Japan, where he is teaching English, completing a full-length album and working on a number of musical collaborations." - Nicolas Carrier
Yo. Long time no listen, stuff is still amazing. Though my two favorites, 'Charlie wasn't afraid' and 'drunk before noon' don't seem to be up, I had to soundclick it. Hope all is well.
Don't miss TEVELLUS when they take the stage at The Shorebreak tonight. Classified as..."medditarabianworldfunkgypsyhip-hopraga" and featuring a Belly Dancer, this is without a doubt the coolest night in South County. No Cover!! Doors open at 6:00. Show starts at 9:30.
the burning ball of refuse pulsed and shook, bits of debris raining on the cities, stinking smoke spewing from it's core.
a hole opened up within it's folds and there did, in a harrowing moment that broke the souls of all who heard it, issue forth a sound spoken as if from true, human lips: Capuchin
Good evening Capuchin!!

Hey capuchin,
This is drt just popping by to say hello. Miss you over on SC, haven't seen you there for a while. Anyway, hope all is well. Let's hook up for a beer if you are ever in Osaka!
Cheers,
drt
I mean i expected to see you on MTV's Cribs by now. We all know Capuchin deserves a gold plated, diamond encrusted toilet with matching toilet paper composed of mint leaves and hundred dollar bills.
You've gotta tell me what's goin on with the demo's you sent out. If i don't see your cd on the shelf soon i think i'll have to write my congressman.
Konban wa Capuchin san,
Just old drt popping by to say hello. BTW, loved those 2 new tracks you posted on SC, very nice minimalist vibe going on there.
Speak soon, all the best,
drt
