Listen to Former Belle’s sweet and lofty “Honey Bee” and hear him on the 25 O’Clock podcast
Former Belle, the acoustic singer-songwriter project of Cruisr guitarist Bruno Catrambone, releases their Foreign Bed EP on April 8th and this week shared its latest track, “Honey Bee,” via Pure Volume.
The sweet four minutes of “Honey Bee” showcases Catrambone’s sense for melody with buzzing harmonies, light acoustic guitars, and timeless lyrics beyond their years. Former Belle gives Catrambone the opportunity to highlight his own musical talents while creating his own world of lyrical and melodic intensity. You can also hear Foreign Bed‘s other single, “I Woke Up In Chicago” and listen to the studio session they did with The Key here.
Catrambone also stopped by the 25 O’Clock podcast to be featured in their most recent episode. Dan Drago, who runs 25 O’Clock, talks about meeting Catrambone at Bourbon and Branch and talks to him about writing “melancholy and lonely” music while still containing an air of “humor and directness.” They also chat about jazz, gigs and finding yourself alone in unfamiliar cities – Catrambone closes with an acoustic performance of “I Woke Up In Chicago.” You can download and listen to Episode 39 of the 25 O’Clock podcast featuring Bruno Catrambone below.
