Bel Canto releases new single this Friday: 'Grass Mint Crisp'
On Saturday we announced that the Norwegian cult band Bel Canto would release an all new album on April 26th, called “Radiant Green“. The band has now announced that a first single, “Grass Mint Crisp”, will be released this Friday. You can pre-order it right here. The single was mixed by Matias Tellez.
“Radiant Green” emerges after over two decades of silence from the studio, marking a significant hiatus since their previous release, “Dorothy’s Victory,” in 2002. In an unexpected collaboration, Geir Jenssen contributed to the writing of two tracks on “Radiant Green.”
The album is set for release in digital format, as well as on CD and double vinyl. Matias Tellez and Gilles Martin handled the mixing duties. For Martin, this project signifies a notable return to the scene, having produced the band’s first three albums, with “Shimmering, Warm & Bright” in 1992 being his last. His production work was instrumental in defining the early, unique sound of Bel Canto.
