Wild Belle delivers dream pop music doused in gasoline, bodacious beats and simmering vocals, eviscerating the subtle sound of pop harmonies with a haymaker. Chicago siblings, Elliot and Natalie Bergman make up the base of Wild Belle, and together they are a one-two punch. Natalie bringing scintillating vocals and Elliot supplying synth and doses of saxophone which is then reinforced with a trio of guitar, bass and drums. Wild Belle recently released their latest album, Dreamland, to raving reviews. Hits like, “Throw Down Your Guns” are filled with harrowing vocals backed by layers of percussion and synth that builds the energy to a swell, contrary to their fast paced teeth grinder, “Giving Up On You,” proof of the duo’s dynamic style.
Wild Belle stopped by Studio 1A as they continue their North American tour. If you missed their live performance, fear not, you can stream it right here, on KUTX
