Bellcrash - Suzume Park

Bellcrash are Mark Bell and Paul McMahon. They are producers from Belfast who met each other 4 years ago through a mutual friend who thought that they should work together. The friend was right because Mark and Paul really clicked. They discovered that they not only had a mutual interest in jazz, funk and latin music but also in all forms of music technology. After immediate support for their first release "Coaltion Ep" from the usual suspects in the game, Mark and Paul had been so busy in the studio they decided to produce a full lenght album. They agreed that the album would have to be as diverse as their musical influences. Eighteen months later the album was finished and all that remained was to find a home for it. To celebrate the completion of Suzume Park the pair took themselves off to Barcelona where they ended up in the company of Nigel Hayes who loved the album and passed it on to Sunshine Enterprises where Bellcrash now call home. "Suzume Park", the album. "Open Minded" the first track out of the "Suzume Park" will get You in the mood for this jazz hipsters heaven. Follow on into the right groove with "Losing Gamble" & "Going To Ground". So there You have it "Suzume Park" 12 excursions into timeless and versatile jazz schemes for your listening pleasure from Mark Bell and Paul McMahon out of Belfast via Vienna.
