"Bells in New Towns shifts the group's scope towards Krautrock and psychedelia, and while these certainly aren't new influences for the band, it's hard to recall a previous Landing album that rocked out as much as this one. They balance muscular rhythms and crunchy distortion with the type of airy, blissful calm they've been known for, resulting in smoothly propulsive drone rock that doesn't seem like it's trailing off or meandering ... Overall, Bells in New Towns is easily one of Landing's most exciting, enjoyable records".
