Drums Between the Bells is the twenty-fourth solo studio album by Brian Eno, released on 4 July 2011 on Warp Records in CD, double CD 'hardback', double vinyl and download editions.[1] The album is based on the words of poet Rick Holland. "Glitch" was released in advance of the album, through Eno's mailing list in April 2011.[2]

In 2012 it was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 20,000 copies throughout Europe.[3] As well as Eno and Holland, the album features the voices of Grazyna Goworek, Caroline Wildi, Laura Spagnuolo, Elisha Mudly Aylie Cooke, Nick Robertson, and Anastasia Afonina. The album's design and art direction was credited to Nick Robertson, and its imagery to Eno & Robertson.

Background

[edit | edit source]

Brian Eno met Rick Holland in the late 1990s, through the collaborative 'Map-Making' project. After creating their first music together in 2003, they met infrequently to work on new compositions. Following the release of Eno's Small Craft on a Milk Sea in 2010, the pair decided to complete their project. Drums Between the Bells is the result of their meetings (although their 2003 work does not appear on this album).
