Small Stones is the second Bellini album. Recorded in a whirlwind 5-day session in a dilapidated studio in Austin, TX (much of which was spent watching Albini repair neglected recording equipment), Small Stones is the sound of a band made stronger. More melodic, more rhythmic and more intense than anything Cacciola and Tilotta have ever been involved with, Tilotta's guitar stabs punctuate the relentless rhythm section, and more than ever before. And Cacciola sings, her voice exuding an assured power and effortless sexiness that eludes most contemporary vocalists. If Bellini had to endure tragedy before enjoying triumph, Small Stones is as brilliant a reward as they could have ever hoped for.
