Axis Of – Bella Pacifica
Oceans apart.
Northern guitar gods Axis Of have released one of the finest alt.rock albums of the year.
The title track imagines the big yearning soundscapes of Built To Spill reverberating through the scenic landscapes of remote Scottish islands and the Wild Atlantic Way.
Bella Pacifica is Axis Of’s third album, following on from Finding St.Kilda and The Mid Brae Inn – which were released on the Smalltown America Label.
This album will be released in Ireland, the UK and Europe via No Dancing Records and will be pressed on eco-mix vinyl, using surplus vinyl in the manufacturing process to help reduce its impact on the environment.
Axis Of is Niall Lawlor (guitar, vocals), Ewen Friers (bass, vocals) and Ethan Harman (drums); friends raised on Ireland’s north coast, between the tourist towns of Portstewart, Portrush and Portballintrae.
Niall writes:
“It has sad songs…but it is hopeful that there can be good times again.”
Nick says: Axis: bold as love.
Nick says: Money 4 me. I want more money 4 me.
