"Meanwhile, *Vertigo* has been released as a single that evokes both the street atmosphere of Paris and Kingston. A sleazy ski atmosphere with fanfare sounds, but also On-U-Sound influences and makes life a little less heavy."
Thanks Luminous for this article on our new single .

"The song combines catchy horns, accordion riffs and ambient treble sounds. The first line of the chorus is “the world is so vast it makes you dizzy.” The lyrics reflect how difficult it is to stay afloat in these times, where society and, by extension, the entire world seem to be under pressure, but they also express resilience."
Thank you Snoozecontrol for mentioning our new single Vertigo and the album release concert at Ancienne Belgique !

"In this track, the band does not hide its love of groove and slow funk. For the lyrics of the chorus, Piet Maris drew inspiration from a nursery rhyme from the expo Where Do The Children Play by compatriot Francis Alÿs. Maris sings in English and French to a blissfully funky bass, playful accordion tones, steamy horns, a groovy rhythm. The backings from Pete's partner Sarah and daughter Lula spice things up nicely.”

“A surprising, catchy poppy song using as Inspiration for the lyrics of the chorus a nursery rhyme he discovered at the expo “ Where do The Children Play ” by compatriot Francis Alÿs, at a game we all know from when we were little: don't step on the tile joints.”

Dimanche (Ciascuno Ha Un Pazzo Nella Manica) is the first taste of the album to be released. It's a feel-good anthem that takes the time on Sundays to catch your breath after a busy week.

“With titles like "Schuimkop" and "Scrambled Ensor", Ostend is completely ingrained in the record and, with some good will, you can also translate "Lacht" as the sound of a seagull skimming by. "Tango Soleil du Nord", in turn, is thoroughly Brussels and with "Mayaaze", the Flemish-Brabander suspects a translation of "“maar ja, hoor" (a Dutch expression of validation). Nobody says "hoor" here, but they do say "zenne" or "zè", but I could go completely off the mark with this. That is not at all the case with this record, which sometimes sounds dreamy and melancholic, sometimes exuberant and even almost festive. In any case: it is proven once again and to excess that we are dealing here with absolute top musicians. One more word: the artwork by Sarah Baur is particularly beautiful. but it always is....”
