    The fourth album by Belgian folk-rockers Ceilí Moss is finally available!
    "La vie sent quoi?" contains 12 pieces of mood, party or thinking for the rainy days, the sunny days and the inbetween days...
    As usual, the gentle Ceilí Moss with their wooden acoustic guitars will make most of the evil speed-punk-metal-indus bands sound like a bunch of retired accountants watching Derrick ! Make your opinion and, who knows, spend a few bucks, on our MySpace, on http://www.ceilimoss.be or here:
