I don't remember seeing mention of the Irish band Bell X1 on audities. Their album Flock is one of my favorites of the year. This is their first album released in the US. I believe they have 4 in all.
I haven't checked out any of their other albums. I'm guessing that Flock has songs from more than one. I know Flame is at least two years old.
"Flame" is one of the catchiest pop songs I've ever heard (the version on the myspace page is a remix - I prefer the original). They are equally comfortable with Radiohead-like songs, Keane-like ballads and brooding numbers a la Damien Rice (no surprise, he was once in a band with these guys). My other favorite Bell X1 song is "My First Born For a Song".
They also put on an amazing live show. They're opening for Stars in the US in September. It looks like they are headlining in Boston.
