Howling Bells - Howling Bells (20th Anniversary Edition)

Last year, we celebrated the return of this awesome Aussie band with a Dinked Edition of their new album, Strange Life. Now, we have the absolute honour of being able to bring you a lush Dinked Archive 20th Anniversary Edition of their acclaimed self-titled debut album. And as it fell into that weird hole where loads of great stuff never made it to wax, this is its first-ever vinyl release!

Howling Bells introduced their cinematic blend of darkly romantic songwriting, atmospheric guitars, and Juanita Stein's unmistakable vocals. A record that truly defined the sound of Resident back in our early years, 2 decades later, the album retains its intoxicating magic and stands up as one of the most captivating albums of the 2000s. Still, the opening seconds pull you in; still, the record won't let you go.

"Listening to Howling Bells' debut album was a cultural awakening for me back in the early 2000s. It reminded me that writing artful, sophisticated pop music was absolutely possible. Twenty years later, this record still sounds so fresh and exciting" 
- Anna Calvi

“A haunting, beautiful and at times emotionally brutal debut by one of alt-rock's unsung talents”
- Brett Anderson

"OK, now I can finally listen to Setting Sun on vinyl and be reminded all over again why I love Howling Bells"
- Chris Martin 

"There was a time when we thought great records would just keep rolling in. We didn't realize we were living in a golden age until it was gone. Twenty years later, Howling Bells stands as a testament to what we've been missing"
