) The Belle Sounds from Austin, TX released 9/9/14. Similar Artists: Fleetwood Mac, Shins, Juliana Hatfield. (promo provided)
The music of the Belle sounds is mainly female singer with backup band. Very well put-together and overall sounds great. Songs are well-written and performed.
Tracks:
1. Black Stone - Upbeat and fun. Great backup band provides an easy listening experience.
2. The Siren - Slower but very smooth. The harmonies and vocals in this track are its forte, and are nicely done.
3. Ghost of Mykonos (Me-Cone-Ohs) - Guitar Lead with harmonies and backup. Half way through becomes a real foot-tapper. Elusive, mysterious feel and lyrics.
4. Golden Boy - This song sounds like Guster with a female lead. Very catchy and smooth, great for radio play in my opinion.
5. Drifter - Piano! Harmonic vocals and piano backup make this slow song a little boring, plodding even.
Overall, a fun album to listen to. The harmonies and vocals of The Belle Sounds are very solid and well made. Music accompaniment isn't anything special, but not offensive either.
