Ciel: Make It Better

Brighton based shoegaze trio Ciel tackle the tried-and-true subject of making a move with a person they want to get close to on their Make It Better. Hiding behind a wall of fuzz gives them some kind of false safety, but they are fully aware they have to show themselves eventually. Singer Michelle Hindriks isn't afraid to do so. She connected with her future band mates via a Facebook group, while she was living in the Netherlands. Her leap of faith as the front woman did get noticed by the folks at Auntie Beeb pretty quickly.

With these four crunchy happy-sad bangers they proof that rambling garage power trios have a bright future. Plus it will offer some solace as well pointers to anyone who has eyes on a prospective signifant other.
