Bedlam Bells is loosely associated with the genre «Noir Pop». Subsequently moved through a range of influences including: acoustic alternative, big beat, reggea, triphop and lounge. Whatever the style, the characteristic mood of Bedlam Bells music, is evoked by Lereim's distinctive songwriting: lyrically direct and ambiguous. With «Siljas» energy, presence she enriches the vocals melodic and understated. Bedlam Bells has consisted of a large and fluid collective of musicians focused around its creative centre, PH Lereim and «Silja». Prior to album release, 3 singles has been released (see below).
