Wild Belle - 'Isles'. The brother-sister duo’s honking sax, diluted dub and Lana Del Lite numbers fail to keep you interested. Just how wild are Wild Belle? Their home life sounds fairly normal – the brother-sister duo of Elliot and Natalie Bergman are two of four children born in Chicago to musician parents, who brought them up in a house full of jazz and James Brown. Elliot, who’s eight years older than Natalie and a t (yes, that’s him on the sax), started an Afrobeat band called Nomo while he was studying at the University of Michigan. Which is definitely kind o. ild? It’s also the first and best song on the album, which is a shame because everybody has already heard it. The 10 other songs on ‘Isles’ swing between GarageBand pop and honking sax-led dub, and many of them take up the theme of being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t like you very much.
