Bells Larsen has shared “Blurring Time,” the title track off his forthcoming album, available April 25th on Royal Mountain Records (Bria Salmena). Says Larsen: “I’m fascinated by the concept of queer time, which insinuates that queer and trans people experience time differently by virtue of (often) figuring out who we are later than cishet people do,” Larsen explains. “As a result, our timelines are (often) non-linear and (sometimes) non-traditional. When I was first writing ‘Blurring Time’—a period during which I wasn’t yet sure if and how I would physically transition—I couldn’t have guessed the degree to which my own timeline would be queered through me blurring it.”

The record is inspired by the many ways we write the ever-arriving self into existence. Designed to align with the timeline of his transition, he intentionally recorded his previous “high” voice and instrumentation in 2022, waited for his voice to drop after beginning testosterone, then asked frequent collaborator and longtime friend, Georgia Harmer to write vocal arrangements for his new “low” voice, helping him harmonize with his past self — an intentional, multilingual act of surrendering to change.
