About:
Trembling Bells are Alex Neilson's song-based group who seek to reanimate the psychic landscapes of Great Britain and relocate them to some vague, mythic land where basic human crises are encountered and conquered.
The band released their second album for Honest Jon's in March 2010 called Abandoned Love. This is their most effective synthesis of Earlie Musik modes, Country music's bathetic romanticism, British Folk's edenic mystery and the priapic bombast of Classic Rock.
The album was recorded at Banchory studios (Glasgow) and mixed at Glo Spot studios (Glasgow) under the directing hands of John Cavanagh and Stevie Jackson.
A change in core personnel has seen Mike Hastings replace Ben Reynolds on guitar. Mike has previously played with Lavinia Blackwall (vocals, keyboard, guitar) in Glasgow band The Pendulums.
Simon Shaw plays bass and sings backing vocals in Trembling Bell and is also a member of Glasgow folk rockers Lucky Luke.

Glasgow four piece Trembling Bells release their third slice of Caledonia dreaming, following on from the acclaimed Carbeth (2009) and Abandoned Love (2010).
From its very first notes, The Constant Pageant flies the flag — a banner of arms — with a more confident, anthemic sound than ever before. Trembling Bells are twenty first century troubadours who know their history, on a quest to connect with the core tradition of song, and live deep within its mysteries. Medieval ballads, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are amongst the guiding lights in a music that embraces British folk rock, American roots and electric psychedelia.
