Sounds like: Portishead, Elysian Fields, L CON
By Matt Ho on Jul 20, 2016 | Del Bel is a band lauded for their chilling compositions. But their cover of Mazzy Star's "Look On Down From The Bridge" is anything but brooding.  On their rendition, Del Bel strips away the wistfulness and the languor. Gone are the lethargic drums... read more →
