Bio
the band has returned with a follow up – what really should have been the logical successor to ‘Omerta’. Appropriately titled, ‘Time Flies When You’re Losing Your Mind’ the album draws on all the strengths that gave the band its initial appeal – simple melodies, lo-fi charm, and great pop songs. As Time Out once proclaimed… ’simple, frills-free Americana’- SCRINK.com**************************************************************** "With hat-tips to the likes of the much-missed Elliot Smith, Neil Young and Wilco, The Belles pen inspired, thoughtful and infectiously hummable songs which are very much their own. Omerta mixes the down-beat melancholy of tracks such as 'These Things Will Kill Me' with the heart-warming, upbeat charm of the single 'Never Said Anything' to create an accomplished, assured debut." Amazon.com******************************************************************** "The Belles can be said to have mastered their art with serenity, slapdash wit and a handful of wondrous melodies." - TIME OUT New York*************************************************************************** "..two guys, great songs, honest lyrics. Sometimes that’s just enough. In this case, it happens to be pretty darn brilliant." - Rolling Stone*********************************************************************** 'Beautiful Wide-open arrangement...Songwriting and acoustics as tender as they are potent' - Esquire (4/5)************************************************************ 'Simultaneously dazed and dreamy... the charm factor is as high as a kite' - Irish Times (4/5)******************************************************************* 'Beautiful, Laid back Lo-Fi. The perfect soothing soundtrack for a Sunday morning hangover' - NUTS (4/5)************************************************ 'Blending the restrained yet ptent harmonies favoured by The Pernice Bros with simple, frills-free americana, 'Omerta' is a bittersweet gem of tranquil Indie Pop. Truly Beautiful.' - Time Out (London)******************************************************** ....buy here .. or from ..iTunes... -
