After spending the last decade since 2004 moving and performing music amongst
the Californians, native Coloradan Nicholas (Klaus) Larson returned to Colorado
in 2012, bringing with him the beginnings of the music that made up The Bell
Hours' debut self-titled album.
Klaus wrote, performed, and recorded the album using skills developed over
several years study in audio engineering, arranging over programmed beats, but
shortly before releasing, he brought in Denver based drummer and engineer Joseph
Chudyk to recreate the beats into wonderful live performances. Joe then worked
with Klaus and his recordings to create the final mixes, capturing a simple
modern music with a vintage and nostalgic sound.
The music of The Bell Hours is an eclectic and sentimental take on modern Rock
and Roll, taking lyrical themes from more modern times and ideas with our
impressions of love, compassion, and mindfulness (not to mention anger and
jealousy) and combined it with musical themes stretching from Folk, Rock and
Roll, Indie, Hip Hop, and Jazz, culminating in a rich pop music experience with
amazing replay value. The group of talented musicians inspired by the music that
came together to tour the album have done an astounding job in translating the
dynamics and moods live that the album captured in its recordings.
The Bell Hours debut album is only the tip of the iceberg for Songwriter Klaus
Larson, and a further exploration into unique arrangements and possibilities is
yet to come. A new six song EP is scheduled to be released on September of
2014.
