GLOCKABELLE
glockabelle.com

New York’s Glockabelle has a new EP called Wolf BBQ, set for release next week, May 19th.

The thing with Glockabelle (aka Annabelle Cazes) is that she plays “a lyre-shaped glockenspiel with eight thimbles and two pocket calculator Casios.”

Wolf BBQ EP is described as “a collection of mostly unreleased tracks. The result is a collection of equally playful and technically complex tracks filled with surf and punk tendencies, all brought together with her intricate synths and controlled madness.”

Glockabelle will be playing with Kaki King next week:

May 21, 2015 – Rough Trade – Brooklyn, NY
