Elle Belle

**Elle Belle** is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based musician Christopher Pappas, a genre-blurring project that mashes synth-pop, indie rock, and retro-futuristic vibes into something delightfully unpredictable. Formerly of Boston band The Everyday Visuals, Pappas launched Elle Belle as a solo endeavor, crafting lush, cinematic tracks layered with darkly humorous social commentary and existential musings. Releases like *Train to Kyoto* and *Mozart was Buried in a Pauper’s Grave* showcase his knack for pairing catchy hooks with sardonic wit, while newer tracks such as *Hey Rich People! (A Better Plan)* and *How Do I Feel?* lean into his penchant for satirical storytelling and danceable grooves. With a DIY ethos and a flair for blending vintage synths with modern indie sensibilities, Elle Belle feels like a late-night drive through a neon-lit city—equal parts nostalgic, surreal, and irresistibly cool.
