Human Bell-- the guitar-slingin', no singin' Baltimore duo featuring Arbouretum tender Dave Heumann and former Lungfish-er Nathan Bell-- rang in the new year with a top-notch pun and a self-titled debut LP.

But as spring rolls around, their self-styled reverberations will sound through clubs (and record stores) the world over. Indeed, Human Bell are doing that touring thing this very instant, with gigs in the States this month to be followed by a trip to Europe and the UK the next. Quite a few of the pair's U.S. dates find them ushering their Thrill Jockey labelmates Boredoms around the country. Show those Boredoms a good time, gentlemen, and maybe they'll come back more often!
