HERE'S WHAT THE LOSTWAVE COMMUNITY OF REDDIT ARE SAYING:

“The Emotions” artist; A Private View uploaded his new record with the original sounds of Emotions but also yummy other songs"

“Emotions (Orange Sun) sounds like a tribute to 1970's electronic music & progressive rock, refined, into a perfect piece”.

“I listened to all the songs, many of them reminds me of songs (video games songs as well) that came out after the 80s. It's a proof it's ahead of its time and pure genius!”

“I'm so excited. Christmas came early for me”

Introducing the opening track, “Where the North Winds Blow" by Belleville, an eagerly anticipated release that adds another chapter to the band's rich musical history. With their roots dating back to the 1980s, Belleville has been captivating audiences with their exceptional songwriting and remarkable performances. Led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Caputo, the band has shared the stage with renowned acts such as Roxy Music, Billy Idol, The English Beat, and Oingo Boingo.

"Where the North Winds Blow", is a new milestone for Belleville, showcasing their evolution as musicians. The song; meticulously crafted with the band's signature attention to detail, seamlessly blends indie folk and alternative rock influences. Mark's emotive vocals & production, Marc Burnstein’s songwriting and other-worldly cigar-box guitar and a great band featuring Jim Bogios/drums, Danny Eisenberg/piano & organ and David McCullough on bass guitar help create the band's dynamic instrumentation: a sonic landscape that is both introspective and exhilarating. Belleville's dedication to their craft and their ability to create timeless music is evident here, as the band embark on this new chapter. ~ Natasha Tigre
