Cela fait seulement quatre ans que leur premier album est sorti, et déjà Trembling Bells jouit d’une véritable notoriété outre-manche. Il y a un an, ils sortaient leur troisième album The Constant Pageant, acclamé par la critique, et voilà que les quatre de Glasgow reviennent au sommet en 2012 avec un album en collaboration avec Will Oldham, plus connus sous le nom de Bonnie « Prince » Billy.
