last year i complained to athena that there weren't enough bands that explored the black heart procession kind of sound, and challenged her to find me one. having a show at the college radio station, she had access to all sorts of obscure stuff. she came back with cyann and ben, that she had listened to for a while. i got "sweet beliefs" and the album is just beautiful! I definitely would place their sound in the same ballpark as black heart procession for sure, but leaning way more towards a more indierock-aware blonde redhead (which is a great fucking band to be compared to.).
while every track on sweet beliefs is sometimes laughably "gloomy" with that saddened distant lamenting sound, they are so cute that they just get away with it! they have delicute cute melody hooks in every track, and every track on the cd plays like a single. I love these guys and they look real fun to see live.
more proof that france is killing it, too.
