In a new interview with The Obelisk, Melynda Marie Jackson has revealed the new album from the acclaimed Eight Bells is nearing release. Their third album was produced by frequent collaborator Billy Anderson (Neurosis, SLEEP) and it will be released via Prophecy Productions (Alcest, Antimatter). The band has a new-ish lineup as well. Melynda commented:

What a relief! Eight Bells has finished the recording and mixing of our 3rd album for release on Prophecy Productions and we are excited to share it. I should say finished but still needs mastering.

I know I have been saying “It’s coming It’s coming” for a couple of years now and that was not a lie — but timing was not with us. We managed to complete production after postponing tracking twice; the most recent postponement related to a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC. Large amounts of Oregon and California burned bringing dangerous air and electricity outages affecting both vocal tracking and mixing.

 

I won’t even go into the general feeling of doom….but good things happen too and I am so crazy thankful to my friend Billy Anderson for the patience, support, help, production, tracking, mixing, joking, and silliness throughout the process. It helps to laugh especially when times are as bleak as they are right now.

 

Also thanks very much to my amazing bandmates Matt Solis and Brian Burke for their tenacity in the face of it all- could not have been done without you. Then there’s also contributions from Melynda Marie Amann and Andrea Morgan to enjoy!…
