About
Bells Larsen is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter whose music weaves together cathartic lyrics and memorable melodies. Drawing influence from Adrianne Lenker and Elliott Smith, Larsen seeks to distil the personal within the universal. Shortly before the pandemic, Larsen began to conceptualise the makings for a record: struck by and still healing from the death of his first love, Larsen wanted to tell thoughtful stories and ask big questions about the experience of loss in its many guises. The result is his 2022 debut album, “Good Grief”, which bridges the gaps between I, you, and we to narrate an intentional meditation on what it means to grapple with loss in the twenty-first century. Larsen has played many festivals across Canada—including School Night, Toronto Jazz Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, and Pop Montreal—and looks forward to showcasing his music internationally in 2023. Larsen is currently working on his second record, which documents his gender transition through the synthesis of his pre and post testosterone (higher/feminine and lower/masculine) vocals.
