"You will thoroughly enjoy the sounds and lyrics Andrew Belle has created..." There is a review at A Voice in the Wilderness of Andrew Belle's The Ladder . This album is sure to be on my best of TwentyTen list. Filed under: 2010 , albums , best of lists , music Tagged: andrew belle , the ladder
On Tuesday, March 2nd, Andrew Belle visited the UCLA Radio station for an intimate, acoustic performance and to talk about his career, future plans and his debut album, The Ladder, which was just released this past week. A singer-songwriter from Chicago, Belle has seen a lot of success come his way recently including being named [...]
"Don't Blame Yourself" from Chicago troubadour (and Ten Out Of Tenn veteran) Andrew Belle is an oversized, lushly orchestrated slice of "grand piano pop", a deft and imaginatively detailed production that still leaves room for Belle's high-flying vocal melody. Taken from his forthcoming February 23 album The Ladder (more DC babble here ). Myspace Artist Site Andrew Belle - "Don't Blame Yourself" (from [...]
Andrew Belle has got an interesting singing style, not unique but it still makes him stand out. I can't remember how I stumbled upon this track but it is a lovely duet with Katie Herzig . It's available from Andrew Belle's Myspace. MP3: Static Waves - Andrew Belle (feat. Katie Herzig)

Contemporary folk-pop is an arena that is swamped with imitators, yet a select few artists stand out above the rest. Andrew Belle is one such artist thanks to the inclusion of female backing vocals and boisterous orchestration. "Static Waves" hits all the right points - it's catchy and plush and clean and colorful. There's a lot going on here, a lot more than your typical artist fitting this genre descriptor. It's easy to hear why Belle was selected to open for Ben Folds, although I'd also put him in the [...]
Chicago-raised Andrew Belle first came on our radar as a 10% share of this year's Ten Out of Tenn tour, a wonderful and uniformly excellent, ever-changing collaborative mix of mostly Nashville-based singer/songwriters. Hearing his music it comes as no surprise that in high school Belle often escaped to his bedroom to revel in what he calls the "meaningful pop music" of the time: the melodic rock of Counting Crows, Verve Pipe and Third Eye Blind. Wondering "maybe I can do this someday", Belle began to write and then perform his own songs. Now after logging hundreds of shows [...]

This was a year of mixed priorities for me, and less of a focus on music than in prior years. Life gets in the way of such things, and as a result, this is a bit of a smaller list than I've presented in other years. That being said, the sound is no less potent, interesting and fun to listen to. Here's who I thought were some of the best new artists of 2009: Allie Moss - [...]
I receive literally loads of email on a daily basis from artists and publicists alike looking for a quick mention or a short review here on TWF. Often wading through this morass is more tiring than reward but it all feels fine when you stumble upon a gem like Andrew Belle. First of all let me congratulate him on cutting his hair. Your publicist/manager/assistant/wh omever should be thanked mightily for cleaning you up a bit. Secondly let me say that I hope his upcoming album, The Ladder, is as solid as the first preview track I was sent. (Album is out [...]
I'm enjoying some Andrew Belle music tonight. He's got a sweet pop swing and a cool voice, coupled with passion and substance. "Andrew Belle is a Chicago and Nashville-based singer/songwriter whose new CD The Ladder was recorded with Grammy award winning mixing engineer Vance Powell (The Raconteurs). The Ladder will be self-released on February 23, 2010 and Belle will be touring nationally with Ten Out Of Tenn this winter ." The tour happens over the next few weeks - the Phoenix date is on Thanksgiving weekend at Rhythm [...]

Andrew Belle's newest LP, The Ladder , will be (self) released February 23, 2010, and we've got a brilliant little preview track for you in "Static Waves". Perfectly suited for any primetime soap-opera (or, in today's age, any show, really), "Static Waves" mixes in Belle's baritone folk tone with Katie Herzig's delicate and airy harmony. The orchestral mix of strings, bells and keys makes "Static Waves" an immediate go-getter. Bottom line: It's a pop treaure; one that you'll soon be hearing on TV and everyone will be going, "what's that song??" But you, my friends, will know. [...]

Andrew Belle's cover of Bright Eyes' "First Day Of My Life" seems best suited to words like "lovely," "delicate" and "winsome." But, of course, we mean that in the best way, since "First Day Of My Life" is good enough to make you forget all about Mr. Oberst and his lonesome folkie following. "Static Waves" [...]

It wasn't intentional... we swear! It just kind of happened that this weekend's Friday Mixtape turned out to be perhaps our best one ever. As always, we have sought to cap off your week with a stellar mix of the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. However, this particular one is just a little more special... and jam-packed. Just take a look for yourself... "Retreat! Retreat!" (Live at Radio City Music Hall) by 65daysofstatic [...]

This is a spur of the moment post, but I really like his take on the song "Static Waves". I'm going to listen to his EP tomorrow and let you know what I think, but what I've heard so far is great. He's got a unique voice and seems like someone I'd listen to over and over. We'll see. Check out his covers for the time being and I'll get back to you about his EP soon.
