On October 18th, The Belle Comedians will be releasing a 4 song EP titled Autumn Ought To.., reasonably titled for the season. I got an early listen to the songs.

Tracklist
1. Break + Enter
2. Fewer Lights
3. The Weight You Hold
4. North Winds

The EP begins with Break + Enter, which begins almost raw sounding like a live recording. I love that you can hear the slight tremble and crackles in the vocals. 2/3rds into the song it builds into a fantastic conclusion that reminds me a little of Said the Whale.

“I’m obsessed with breaking into broken hearts” line in Fewer Lights is one of the many uses of imagery that I have fallen in love in the song. The track is damn catchy and the one they are currently giving up for free.

The Weight You Hold is a reverb filled track. The strange thing about it is the way it builds up and the amount of different elements in it makes the song itself sound like there is weight.

North Winds is a more mellow, yet slightly depressing song with some rock and jazzy twists. An interesting note to end the set on.

The group will also be playing at the Magpie in Toronto on October 28th.

by teepoo What an awkwardly long week. Just started 3rd term of school and the schedule’s pretty hectic but no worries I have tons of downtime and “bored in class time” to keep this blog updated. Now without further ramblings here’s your weekly single song post chart based on YOUR views.

As a thank you to fans, east coasters The Belle Comedians released an EP called Without A Sound for free/name your price on their Bandcamp. Take a listen to Modern Touch. The gentle piano intro leads the rougher vocals to surprise you a little bit when they come in. It takes you a few listens to understand their folk and classical infused indie-rock techniques but I assure you it’s worth the time.
