Tru Thoughts presents Belleruche’s new video Clockwatching, the first single from their highly anticipated 3rd album, 270 Stores. The single will be released on August 23rd, while the album, 270 Stories will be released October 11th.
For those unaware of Belleruche, their distinctive sound is a self styled brand of handmade hip hop blues soul: think Sarah Vaughan, Django Reinhardt and Cut Chemist stuck in a lift with Russian beer and a sampler. Comprised of 3 members, Kathrin deBoer (Vocals), Ricky Fabulous (Guitar), and DJ Modest (Turntables), the band formed after Ricky and Modest, who played bizarre turntable and guitar sets in London bars, bumped into Kathrin in the market one day. She did some singing over a cup of tea with the pair and Belleruche was born.
Their first album Turntable Soul Music was released via Tru Thoughts in 2007, and was met with rave reviews and became Tru Thoughts fastest selling debut album in their label’s history. The rest is history in making….
