about

The Bells of Freedom, the latest release from folk artist Hélène Renaut, is a summery album, sporting a ‘60s feel and Renaut’s clear, sweet vocals over an arrangement of soft percussion and acoustic guitar. With lyrics that wrap around the coastline, The Bells of Freedom represents Renaut’s ode to California and life’s possibilities. Gentle harmonies frame this bouquet of love songs produced by Pat Sansone (Wilco, The Autumn Defense), co-produced and recorded by Renaut and Caleb Conner (Deathstar Studios), and mastered by Michael Hynes/Nomatic Studio (Robyn Hitchcock, Preacher Stone). Get ready to open your heart to The Bells of Freedom, your retro, sidewalk-café romance.
