Vancouver band The Belle Game‘s debut record Ritual Tradition Habit has been on my radar for a while now. It’s one of those slow burning albums that kind of just simmers for a really long time before you realize how good it is. Like a really good soup. What really set me on the course of the Belle Game was when I saw their music video “The River” for the first time. It’s a gorgeous music video and as someone who has been to Japan a few times, a great reminder as to just what a splendid and strange place that is.
Quite a stunning video that this dark, moody song seems to play a perfect soundtrack to . Andrea Lo’s vocals on this track are powerful and I would rank the Karaoke skill level of this track as “difficult”. Check it out.
