Welcome To The Room... Wild Belle

Pretty sure I've seen him in a Kooples ad. 

With just 2 singles released, new sibling duo Wild Belle are already proving to be masters of modern rocksteady. Think Santigold using the same vintage filter employed by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Alice Gold - the result is a pair of head-naggingly breezy hot jams.

Chicagoan siblings Natalie and Elliot Bergman mix the former's decadent vocals with the latter's bold saxophone, evoking a live quality in their recordings; best showcased on the strutting first track It's Too Late:

The pair have recently enjoyed exposure from having new single Keep You featured in the surprise hit film Pitch Perfect. Creepy Turn Of The Screw-style barrier crossing in the video aside, it's a memorable tune of  disappointment akin to original rocksteady pioneer Dawn Penn's You Don't Love Me (No No No).

There's something endearing in the simplicity of their lyrics - it's clear that they're not trying to impress you, and that's what's so impressive. The lack of breakdown or big chorus makes them the definition of a grower, and as you can hear, they'd be the perfect accompaniment to long Summer evenings.

Unfortunately, Wild Belle's debut album Isles is due out in March, so grab the parasols and flip flops and let's have a barbeque in the rain.
