Paul Noonan and Brian Crosby aka Pilgrims release their debut album Wintering on Friday, January 30. Built around hushed piano and an intimate vocal, the album prizes space and atmosphere. Over nine track,s it moves from tender stillness to shimmering moments of euphoria. Paul and Brian were in Juniper together in the 1990s before continuing with Bell X1 into the 2000s - Brian left the band in 2008, going on to become an acclaimed film composer. Meanwhile Paul has had solo projects over the past year, including Printer Clips and HousePlants as well as performing shows with Gemma Hayes and Lisa Hannigan - all while Bell X1 continue to inspire.
