How can we forge new forms of coming home to ourselves? On his sophomore album Blurring Time (2025), Toronto-born, Montreal-based Bells Larsen collapses time into a series of patient ceremonies. Guided by the satisfaction of simply “being” as a political act, the record explores the ways we write the ever-arriving self into existence. Oscillating between lo-fi ‘90s indie and searing folk ballads, Larsen’s project features the haunting accompaniment of voices frozen in time. Aligning with his transition timelines, he recorded his "high" voice and instrumentation in 2022, waited for his voice to drop after starting testosterone, and then asked longtime friend and frequent collaborator <a href="spotify:artist:3I7KBuz60UYfMzBbPcqrU4" data-name="Georgia Harmer">Georgia Harmer</a> to arrange harmonies for his new “low” voice in 2023, creating a multilingual act that surrenders to change. Unlike past projects where vocals were set in the backdrop, Blurring Time unites both voices at the forefront, delivering an unyielding devotional.
Blurring Time was longlisted for the 2025 Polaris Prize and spent five weeks at #1 on the Canadian campus radio charts, garnering press in The Guardian, NPR, Billboard, Paste, The Line of Best Fit, Under the Radar, and The CBC. Larsen has shared stages with <a href="spotify:artist:4mYY0UqYdvgdz60psupYBR" data-name="Buck Meek">Buck Meek</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:5QdyldG4Fl4TPiOIeMNpBZ" data-name="Big Thief">Big Thief</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:0mEF6nwliNqJuMldWFPuvo" data-name="Land of Talk">Land of Talk</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5ByjU6oarxRC2Y85JpKx1n" data-name="Dan Mangan">Dan Mangan</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:67pQ8Yr09zDDzzwWw3EG9R" data-name="Martha Wainwright">Martha Wainwright</a> and looks forward to serenading you in real life soon.
