TIBERIUS B NO SMOKE

Emerging for the first time under her new musical moniker Tiberius b, London-based songwriter Francesca Belcourt, has shared a critically reflective debut in 'No Smoke'. Built around a descending, minor chord progression, which would sound shoegazey as hell if it were played on a electric guitar with a swamp of delay shoved on the top, minimal percussion and a tempo-setting kick serve a sturdy backdrop for Belcourt's heartfelt delivery and honest lyricism. Increasing in energy when the chorus kicks in at 1 minute 25, the beat picks up and the questioning vocal hook "Why do I find loves like this disarming?" leaves you breathless.
