Sandra Bell - White Nights

Sandra Bell, Long known in Dunedin and the American College Radio scene for her brand of rollicking dark indie rock music. Sandra's 4th album White Nights written mostly in Berlin where she lived from 2001-2006 is due out through Powertool Records on Sept 1.

White Nights ranges from dangerous brooding rock to delicate dark pop, including an intrumental on accordian. Bell's charateristic spoken word is reminiscent of her beginnings as a poet."Each song has its own identity and to create a more comprehensive atmosphere and landscape, she recruited an array of guests, including a group of Russian musicians on Balalaika and accordian, Johaannes Contag on drums, Heath Te Au(Suka,Cloudboy,Heka), John White(Mestar) and Ian Henderson(the Puddle). The name White Nights comes from the white nights of Northern Europe when in Summer there is little or no darkness. "As most of the songs are about experiences in Berlin, most of which took place through the long nights, it seemed an appropiate title. "
