The new album, Flock, is out in Ireland on Friday October 14th. It will be released in the UK and worldwide on March 27 2006.

"'Flock' is the second album from epic indie troubadours Bell X-1. Drawing comparisons with Travis and Coladplay with their first release, 'Music In Mouth', this album expands upon the band's unique brand of stripped-down balladry and marks a real progression in their sound. Includes the single 'Flame'."

"On Flock, BellX1 have created a record that compels you to listen and invites you to discover.

The opening track Reacharound is emphatic; there’s no bullshit because that’s what the song is railing against, ‘cute hoors’ and ‘envelopes so brown’. Backboned by a whining guitar riff and a pounding drum beat it is direct and obvious and fuel for a fire that burns on He Said, She Said also. (A tirade against “Heat magazine and all that it stands for”, according to Paul.)

Rocky Took a Lover is about a homeless guy who used to sleep across from where Paul lived in Smithfield in Dublin. Rocky picked up a woman one night and the song dreams up the subsequent conversation. The result is a humorous ballad of cynicism and drunken notions on romance-it could as easily be Temple Bar as Tralee.

He Said, She Said is reminiscent of Radiohead’s last album only the restrictors which marred some of the songs on Hail to the Thief have been cast aside by BellX1. The song takes off and excites as it explodes into a frenzy of emotional discord.

Bad Skin Day suffers from the Radiohead factor though; it’s almost a breach of copyright, suffocated by the sins of similarity. Flock gets into full stride with Natalie and Bigger Than Me, enticing more determined foot tapping and even if Just Like Mr. Benn is out of place and slightly irritating, My First Born for a Song is wonderfully delirious. Trampoline gently tugs at the heartstrings but Lamposts is the defining track of this record. Full of longing and insecurity yet there is no escaping the humour; how a new couple negotiate lampposts when they start to hold hands for the first time.

I've been walking you Into those lamposts again I'd rather do that than Let you of your hand.

An album that opens in cynical fashion and closes to the tune of an enduring romantic, Flock is both intriguing and endearing."
