Bellbird - The Call LP

RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026

Bellbird's The Call is a soaring, visceral new statement from the Montréal avant-jazz quartet of Claire Devlin, Allison Burik, Eli Davidovici, and Mili Hong; their second album and first for Constellation Records. Building on the acclaimed self-released debut Root in Tandem (2023), the group refines it's deeply collaborative practice, merging intricate composition and free improvisation into a unified, muscular sound that bridges jazz, rock, fusion, and folk.

Recorded live-off-the-floor at Montréal's legendary Hotel2Tango by engineer Sylvaine Arnaud, The Call channels the collective's empathy, urgency, and raw dynamism. It's title track draws inspiration-and even sonic material-from the piercing cry of the white bellbird, one of nature's loudest creatures, while the album's emotional arc meditates on interconnection, climate crisis, and solidarity. An explosive, humanist record from a band redefining the parameters of modern jazz, The Call arrives as Bellbird prepares a Western Canada tour in January 2026, bringing their exhilarating live energy to audiences across the region.
