ISBELLS, at least in the studio, is Gaetan Vandewoude's one man band. Their first self-titled album, which was released in 2009, caught everyone by surprise. It spawned two singles ("As Long As it Takes" and "Reunite") that surfed the airwaves for months, went gold in Belgium and were praised by British radio DJ's such as Zane Low, Rob De Bank (both from BBC) and Trevor Thomas (Magic AM), as soon as the album hit the stores in the UK. It also came out in Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and even got the thumbs up in Australia and Japan. Following the album release ISBELLS toured extensively in 2010 and 2011, covering all major cities and venues in Germany and Switzerland as well as festivals as Dockville, Haldern Pop, Winthertur and Bootboohook. On "Stoalin'", ISBELLS' second collection of songs, Vandewoude has managed to expand his musical horizons, without letting go of the ingredients that made his previous effort such a magical listening experience. Once more the album offers organic, introspective and somewhat wistful folk rock, built on catchy tunes and embellished with lush vocal harmonies. Like its predecessor it was recorded in the singer's own studio, set up in a shed next to his house in the countryside. Most of the tracks are colored with light touches of banjo, organ, trumpet, various types of percussion and gorgeous backing vocals by Chantal Acda (SLEEPINGDOG, TRUE BYPASS) Record Label: Zeal Records Style: Independent
