BELLS LARSEN Releases New Single “Might”

Bells Larsen shares “Might,” the new single from his forthcoming album, Blurring Time, due April 25th on Royal Mountain Records.

Designed to align with the timeline of his transition, Larsen intentionally recorded his previous “high” voice and instrumentation in 2022, waited for his voice to drop after beginning testosterone, then asked frequent collaborator and longtime friend, Georgia Harmer to write vocal arrangements for his new “low” voice, helping him harmonize with his past self — an intentional, multilingual act of surrendering to change. 

Of the track, Larsen says “Before Georgia and I recorded my low vocals for the album, we sat down and decided which songs would be high voice songs, which would be low voice songs, and which would be duets (we took a sheet of paper, wrote out the tracklist, and scribbled a small “HV”, “LV”, or “HV/LV” next to each song). We knew from the jump that the main character of “Might” would be HV. I wrote this song right around when I was deciding to physically transition, and by extension, when I came up with the idea for Blurring Time. To me, this song is the thesis statement of the album.”

Oscillating between spacious lo-fi 90s indie, and searing folk ballads, his newest project welcomes into the room the haunting accompaniment of the voice frozen and suspended in time. While on previous projects, Larsen set his vocals in the backdrop of the music, on Blurring Time he unites and positions both voices at the forefront to deliver a bold, unyielding devotional.
