Chris Bell has been writing and recording music since the late 90’s. Born in Dunnville, ON, his introduction onto the Canadian music landscape happened via his high school, post-hardcore band Chore. More recently, Bell has been touring and recording as the bassist for eastern Canadian rock band Wintersleep. Appearing on the band’s last release, In The Land Of, Bell shifted his role from the bands live sound engineer and tour manager to member. He has worked with many prominent Canadian acts as a live sound engineer; Broken Social Scene, Stars, Basia Bulat, and Arkells to name a few.
These many projects and varying roles have led Bell to his most recent project – the self-produced full-length, Division Street, set for release on June 19. The album’s first single, “Searching in the Dark,” is a little bit about being on the road and a little bit about the journey of life. With shades of early Sebadoh and a more acoustic-based Built To Spill, the song exudes a warm lo-fi melodic quality.
