Andrew Belle @ SPACE
Andrew Belle’s debut LP The Ladder was released back in 2010, and since that time each track has been featured somehow or somewhere in film or television. From "In My Veins" to "Static Waves" to "Open Your Eyes", the album was extremely well received. The downside to that is the challenge of following that up. On Feb. 28th Belle is releasing his follow-up EP, The Daylight. It is a three song ep and below you can see how excited Belle is about this release.
You can catch Andrew Belle at SPACE in Evanston on Feb. 14th.
