After locking themselves inside the Atomic Audio Studio for the entire month of January, Isobella came out with their sophomore effort, A 24 Syllable Haiku. Being labeled as dream-pop and uncannily sounding like Velour 100 and My Bloody Valentine, Isobella transcend pop and move into a glossy, more atmospheric sound.
Laura Poinette's rich alto vocals would certainly be viable if a battle anthem or cry was ever needed. A unique sound pours out of your speakers and it's not electronics, but a solid voice. As each song is swallowed by the next, your body moves right into the next key change and you feel the punch of the guitar strums. Isobella's efforts on their second release don't go unnoticed. With Laura's voice lending itself to the progressive music, this CD is best fit for a rainy day.
$12.99. Isobella, 1402 Front St., Valrico, FL, 33594. www.clairecords.com
