Since releasing their debut single 'Keep You' on 12", Wild Belle aka Natalie and Elliot Bergman have gone from obscurity to being one of the most promising acts to break through in 2012. Having played a handful of shows at SXSW and the west coast this year, the Bergmans -- backed by bass, drums and guitar -- won over some of the toughest critics with their recent live performances.

The LA Times complimented Natalie's performance, voice and delivery with her “can't-put-one-over-on-me husk... appearing coolly dapper as she puts a realist spin on adult relationships. ‘I'm just another girl’, Bergman tried to claim in one song, but here's betting she's not anonymous for long."

Whilst Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot praised the band’s “sassiness, wit, subtlety and confidence…drawing on elements of Jamaican rock-steady, U.K. trip-hop and atmospheric balladry” and Rolling Stone Magazine raved about the bands influences and musicianship as Elliot “switched effortlessly between keyboards and sax” and “Instead of looping voices, created an organic wall of sound by repeating their vocals without breaths.”


The wit, sassiness and confidence in their music and lyrics could well derive from the fact that both Natalie and Elliot write, record and produce everything themselves. This winter the band entered the studio in Benton Harbor, Michigan to work on their debut album. In stark contrast to the harsh wintery nights that the mid-west so often endures, the Bergmans placed themselves behind the console (that once belonged to Sly & The Family Stone) and began to create a sound so rich and uplifting you can’t help but be whisked away to a brighter and sunnier place.


As the public now welcomes Wild Belle with arms open wide, the band prepare to unveil exclusive new tracks from the album on their North American and European tour this spring. While finishing their highly anticipated debut album, as well as joining Tom Tom Club in the studio this month, Wild Belle will be joining Denver based band Tennis on the road this spring, then will be heading to Europe for a handful of dates including Brighton's Great Escape Festival.
