English translation of the Dutch article:
| Poesie Noire: Gioconda Smile |
| Here is the minialbum of Belgians rising star Poesie Noire. This is their debut, so this 7 trackrecord has still some teething troubles as there is a weak production, mournful singing and monotonous. But next to that, we notice some inventivity, so we can use the label "promising band". There are some good songs on Gioconda Smile, especially the synthesizer- rhythmboxsongs with the pleasant annoying trumpet. Hans Maarten Post |
