Kalbells live at Light Club Lamp Shop with Liptalk
Kalbells is the solo work of Kalmia Traver, lead singer and co-bandleader of the band Rubblebucket. Kalbells debut album Ten Flowers (NNA Tapes, 2017) is cosmic bedroom pop written in Vermont in the dead of winter directly after a successful battle with ovarian cancer. Its lyrics deal with joy, self-affirmation and dream healing. Sonically it is a kaleidoscopic desertscape of blips, bells, whistles, synthesizers, layered vocals and woodwinds. Co-produced by Ryan Power, the album was lauded by Bob Boilen of NPR All Songs Considered as having that beautiful innocence.
Kalmia was born in Rhode Island, raised in Taftsville, Vermont, and spent much of her childhood exploring the woods and streams of the Green Mountain State. After attending the University of Vermont where she met Rubblebucket creative partner Alex Toth the duo moved to Boston to found the band, and eventually to Brooklyn, NY where Kalmia currently resides and continues to develop both projects.
Kalmia spent the third decade of her life co-creating Rubblebucket as a composer, visual artist & performer. She and her bandmates repeatedly toured the United States, made jaunts into Europe and Canada, performed at summer festivals including High Sierra & Bonaroo, played on Jimmy Kimmel Live, at Lincoln Center and BAM as part of the Red Hots Fela Kuti and Arthur Russell tributes (respectively) and taped an episode of NPRs series Tiny Desk Concerts.
