Bells Larsen
On his sophomore album Blurring Time (2025), Bells Larsen collapses past and present into an
intimate meditation on becoming. Moving between spacious lo-fi ’90s indie and searing folk
ballads, the album is structured around Larsen’s transition: he recorded his previous “high” voice
in 2022, waited for his voice to drop after starting testosterone, and asked longtime friend and
frequent collaborator Georgia Harmer to arrange harmonies for his new “low” voice. By placing
both at the forefront, *Blurring Time* becomes a living duet—a bold, unyielding devotional that
has drawn attention from artists including Katie Gavin and the Japanese House. The album was
long listed for the Polaris Prize, spent five weeks at #1 on the Canadian campus radio charts,
and garnered press in The Guardian, NPR, Cosmopolitan, The Toronto Star, Billboard, Paste,
The Line of Best Fit, Under the Radar, and CBC, to name a few. Larsen has shared stages with
the likes of Buck Meek (Big Thief), Land of Talk, Dan Mangan, and Martha Wainwright, and
recently performed at the Pitchfork London Music Festival.
