About Me


“Though Premonitions offers only a 20-minute glimpse of what the band is capable of, the meticulous devotion to filling the ears with the right sounds is promising. Given the time, this band could maybe record the next great ambient rock album. I’m hoping this premonition is for something big on the horizon...” - Revolt Media Magazine (www.revolt-media.com)
“Soaring and beautiful… New to NYC and Brooklyn based, Bella Noir demand attention. With strong vocals that you can’t help but be drawn to, they will surely receive it. …Their dark, layered, complex sound boosts the sexiness of their songs rather than overshadowing it, and the ambiguity of their words keep you hanging all day long...” - The Deli Magazine (www.thedelimagazine.com)
“flashes of brilliance... this is definitely worth a listen, if only for the coolly evocative voice and the mesmerising rhythm sections overlaid by strange electronic noise; this is definitely a band to keep an eye on.” - Delusions of Adequacy (www.adequacy.net)
“...You are truly in for a treat. Fuzzed out, loud swinging guitars topped by a sweet yet raspy female voice. This is a great indie record that continues to sound even better within each listen.” - Crashin' In (www.crashinin.com)
“…A band that's on the brink of something spectacular. Enchanting, Siouxsie-inspired vocals. A tighter-than-SPANX backbeat. Everything reverberates and wallows out from the center, immediately grabbing the listener. Some seriously dark, seriously fun stuff is to be found from these guys in the future.” - The Culture of Me (www.thecultureofme.com)
“Bella Noir’s "Premonitions EP” is a dark journey into New York City’s electro-indie scene. Heavily layered, walled with sound, and cemented together with Wilneida’s sultry voice, this EP is a swim through a choppy yet beautiful ocean of music. This [Stand Closer] synth and bass-infused masterpiece is as dark as it is beautiful. I found myself hitting the back button a few times.” - Chicks with Guns Mag (www.chickswithgunsmag.com)
“The music on "Premonitions” is flawless and dreamlike. ...Swirling atmosphere, turn-on-a-dime time changes, and truly incredible drumming. Each time, if you close your eyes, you’ll find new rewards.” - Berkeley Place (berkeleyplace.wordpress.com)
“The sound palette is lush and creates an environment that surrounds the listener in reverb washed vocals and crisp drum sounds that would make bands with major labels behind them jealous.” - The Rob Blatt Blog (www.robblatt.com)
“…A band with chops a little too quick to be branded shoegazers ... maybe even less poppy than Midnight Oil and all the 80’s bands every NYC band wants to emulate. It can only be Bella Noir! Bella and Noir, indeed.” - Radio Crystal Blue (www.radiocrystalblue.com)
