Today’s big Scrabble word: tintinnabulation. It’s the acoustic phenomenon where a bell’s sonic vibrations produce a multi-pitched sound that changes over time. Portland’s Eight Bells, led by guitarist and vocalist Melynda Jackson, have embodied this description over the course of three albums and an EP since 2010. Their crushing metal will melt your face!

Commence face melting on Eight Bells’ website, and ring their bells on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. You need to experience this in person—get your Massif tickets now!
