about

Beyond the Bells continues the evolution that began on Paleface’s 2020 release, Go Forth, with him fully embracing his studio wizardry side. Here, he is as at home behind the mixing board with assorted electronica as he is with an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder. The overall result of his commitment shows an artist at the peak of his well-honed craft. Rather than employing an “everything AND the kitchen sink” approach, Paleface is selective, organic—crafting the gestalt of the record with ten songs that relate to one another as a whole. Beyond the Bells is music as event. A primitive, tribal cool that somehow manages to create its own genre. Again.

“Because essentially I like to rebel, I wanted to make an album in an age of ‘singles’, while also giving each song its own personality. When I was a kid, I fell in love with the concept of ‘the album’—and I’d sneak into my older brother's room and listen to more progressive, advanced music—stuff my classmates weren't listening to. But I've always loved pop as well. Contradictions abound, but it all makes sense. These days I find myself much more into the craft. Bukowski said, ‘craft is the death of art’, but he was a writer and didn’t see (or care) that in music, the arrangement is king. It's the reason we know that Beethoven made incredible music two-hundred years ago. So, for better or worse, I’m sinking deeper into that idea while trying to tell the story of my thoughts, fears, and struggles as I go through life.”

released February 18, 2023

Beyond the Bells was written, arranged, and produced by Paleface (Kick This Jam Music. ASCAP), who also played all the instruments, with the help of partner Monica "Mo" Samalot on drums and back-up vocals.

The album was mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer Jason Richmond (The Avett Brothers, John Legend) and mastered by John Greenham (who’s received multiple Grammys, most recently for his work with Billie Eilish).
