Now two years in the making, it seems like Belle Mare‘s debut LP is unhurriedly coming together, single by single – but what would you expect from a band that writes music this gentle? After that 2013 debut that won our hearts, the duo turned five-piece released three singles, the last of which, appropriately titled "How Much Longer," came out last week. In this track Belle Mare weave together arrangements more complex than they got us accustomed to, while still retaining the understated folkiness of their past releases.Vocalist Amelia Bushell’s ghost-like vocals drive the track’s dynamic shifts through one of the band’s loudest chorus to date. The debut LP is scheduled to be released later this summer.
