BERYL BELOVED is a two-man/one-machine alternative outfit based in Colorado, which retains even today the melodic, full-bodied spirit of post-punk and eighties-era gothic rock. Their impressionistic, lyric-focused songs draw from predecessors like David Bowie and Bob Dylan, merging intricate but uncomplicated progressions together with their own brand of storytelling.
There are the songs, of course, which have always spoken for themselves. Throughout 10 years of home and commercial studio recording, Beryl Beloved has nourished a sound that is markedly different - free from formula, and yet full of pop sensibilities. Every release is a display of the theatrical bent, elegance, raw energy, tongue-in-cheek, and spontaneity that remains a signature mark of Beloved's work.
Beloved's songs have charted various internet radio stations, and the innovative singles "Bought & Sold" and "Down Low" have received FM radio play on the Kansas City new wave show Retro Red-Eye Express.
