The weight you hold
It’s not long into The Belle Comedians‘ forthcoming EP, Autumn Ought To…, to realize that this five-piece band are on to something. You might be tempted to lump them in with other east coast outfits bands who are playing similar big melodies, but there’s something special about The Belle Comedians that I just don’t get with bands like Hey Rosetta! For one thing, EP opener “Break + Enter” eschews the usual bombastic opening statement that says, “Look at us! Look at us! We play loud!” Starting with a lone guitar, Benjamin Ross’ vocals, and someone in the studio giving the heads up that tape is rolling, the song slowly builds for three full minutes before the band comes in, turning this plaintive little solo song into a full-on ballad.
You’ll be able to acquire this little gem on October 18 when the full EP will be made available via their Bandcamp page, but for now, you can get a taste of what’s in store by downloading “Fewer Lights” for free now:
