Dubbed by LosingToday.com as “thinking man’s indie-rock,” Washington, DC-based Bellflur has sustained itself since its inception in 2001 through multiple members, two releases (including 2006’s self-released EP “Read.Walk.Take.Talk.,” a nomination for a Washington Area Music Association Award for Best Modern Rock Recording in 2006), and ever-present reincarnations of musical taste. While scores of DC-based bands touted to be “the next big thing” have rapidly sprung up on the horizon — and just as quickly dissipated — Bellflur has been one of the few constants from the DC-front yet to dry-up, and has proven that longevity and risk-taking, with an employed DIY-ethic, can indeed result in “musical freedom.”

A band which has drawn a litany of comparisons and classification throughout these reincarnations – from Can and Radiohead, to Lake Trout and Tortoise, God Speed and Sigur Ros – no single review or opinion seems to give any indication of a definable or traceable line of Bellflur’s genre-specificity. However, Bellflur manages to rest seamlessly in lush space and musical grandeur just as easily as odd-time signatures and bare-boned harmonies and reticence.

Bellflur is currently working on its third release and second full-length album, “asleep.asleep.” (Bastille Recordings).

    This may be the best band in DC that no one is talking about. Fierce live show, and they play often. Check them out people!

    It's nice to see other people listen to this band. With how hard it is to find info about them I thought they didn't exist.
