Austin’s Synth-Pop quintet The Belle Sounds have been called “one of the best pop bands in Austin” (Austin American Statesman), “Best New Band” (Austin Chronicle) and have their own day named after them in their hometown of Austin, TX. The band was formed in 2012 by husband/wife duo André Moran and Noëlle Hampton, and as expected from a project that has been around a while, they have transformed over the years. Much of the sonic evolution started when Hampton began self-producing in 2020. Drawn to the sounds and influences of her youth in the 80s, she found herself creating music that calls back to artists like Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Peter Gabriel and more while holding on the her love of 70s/80s Fleetwood Mac. They just released two new singles, The Upside Down and Welcome to the End. They will celebrate on 1/16/26 at Regal Rooms with Future Clouds and Radar.

Our new single,Welcome to the End, is here!
Need an end of the world bop? An apocalyptic anthem? I will be your host for the end of humanity.
A little dark pop humor mixed with a sinister twist all with addictive hooks everywhere you turn.
There’s something kind of perfect about releasing a song called Welcome to the End
in the first few weeks of a new year.
Written/produced by Noëlle at the Guest Room Studio, Austin, TX
and recorded/mixed by André at Cedar Creek Studio, Austin, TX.
Mastered by Max Lorenzen.

"This morning the five-piece indie-folk-rock family affair unfurled their fourth EP Oh Humanity – a six-song stretch of anthemic hooks, in-the-pocket vocal harmonies, and retro-inspired textures that tastefully recycle the best elements of ’80s pop. It's a brief, upbeat piece of pop perfection (anchored by riling arpeggios, killer chords, and pleasant pads) that’ll make for an banging addition to your retro pop playlist." - Jack Anderson (KUTX)
