Artist description The Douce Sound is unique- it's superficially in the trip hop vein of Portishead Morcheeba and Massive Attack but not quiet as pop.Gisburg's lovely deceptivly, passionate three octaves voice is so cool, one can practically see the icy smoke coming off it, like a cold tart drink on a hot august night.Phil Painson, a former member of market, lays down beats like David Lynch and John Cassavetes direct movies. With Douce avantgarde becomes avant-groove, taking you down dark alleys of the like you've never seen.(write up by Mark Keresman)
