A beautiful life affirming debut, by ISBELLS, the work of Gaëtan Vandewoude, from his studio in a decrepit stable near his house. The result is a series of folk styled gems inspired by his isolated surroundings & the small events marking his daily life. Writing about relationship frictions, his own observed shortcomings, his daydreams, or the kind of world his 4 yr old daughter will grow up in. His songs tend to be personal observations, yet they are never preachy. All centred on Gaëtan’s quiet, understated voice & acoustic guitar w’ some extra instrumental flourishes of, banjo, elec. guitar, a touch of brass & percussion incl. some haunting vibraphone.
