Moved by the captivating hum of the natural world, Alex Bell unveils fragments of bright beauty and the deep shadows beyond. As part of his poetry and music project, Borrowed Verse, he has adapted the work of poets and performed at festivals including the Woodford Folk Festival and the Queensland Poetry Festival. Alex Bell has now released his fourth album, Tales of Shem, featuring a series of songs about time.

A song can be judged to the degree it works as an acoustic. Whenever Alex writes a song he has this in mind and so relies heavily on strong melodies and lyrics which can communicate on several levels. So play the track and imagine yourself in a cozy bar with a logo fire, lots of mates and your favourite drink. Then really listen to the song.
