Death Bells - Live From Bombay

Death Bells performs live at Bombay Beach in the Salton Sea, California. “In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt it important to find a way to perform songs from New Signs of Life in a live context. We had previously spent some time around the Salton Sea, and found Bombay Beach in particular to have a sort of chaotic allure. It’s in a state of permanent environmental decline, harsh and alien. Our friend Sonia made sure we had a place to sleep whilst filming the performance, and has a wealth of knowledge regarding the area - having moved there as a child in the 1960s, when it was being marketed as the Californian Riveria. The video itself was directed and shot by Travis Waddell, who’s become a frequent collaborator. Andy Oswald and Colin Knight figured out how best to record everything live - no small feat for such an oppressive landscape.“ Credits: Directed by Travis Waddell Produced by Oblique TV Art direction by Collin Fletcher Cinematography by Travis Wad
