No One Will Know (except you I guess)

Bella's first album on Mint Records No One Will Know is out today. The easiest way I could describe Bella would be the Stars meet Shiny Toy Guns, but if it reminds you a bit of the New Pornographers or Tegan and Sara it could be because the albums producer David Carsewell has worked with both of the above. The Band's members Cameron Fraser, Tiffany Garrett and Carla Benet swap lead vocals throughout the 12 tracks but harmonize so perfectly on each of them that 'lead vocals' aren't as important. Or, as Radio 3's John Paolozzi puts it "Bella is a Vancouver-based trio that executes the boy/girl harmony mix in a nigh-perfect sorta way"

You can listen to the entire CBC Radio 3 interview here.

The first song "Give It a Night" has hit single written all over it, but the entire CD is as good as the single. The music is danceable and mellow at the same time. Combining the dream like harmonies with trace inducing melodies and danceable rhythms. You can get a sampling of Bella on New Music Canada, or on their MySpace.

Bella will be kicking off a tour in support of the album in Brooklyn, New York tomorrow night - the rest of the dates are below:
