Krzysiek Sobiecki PlayItLoud! - thank You Bro for a great recommendation! Favorite track: Nectar.

PlayItLoud! A new release from the belgian label W.E.R.F. I started listening at track 2 and kept on listening every single track. True and beautiful tracks played with love and skill, sounds soothing and offers "peace of mind". A beauty from a label that has never let me down. Its really, really good music.

To W.E.R.F.: make an offer on the whole discography, I'm in.... Favorite track: Asatsuyu.

about

The instrumental Bruges based trio VENTILATEUR released a promising self-titled EP in 2019. Slowly, plans were forged to record a first full album. The corona pandemic caused those plans to be pushed back, but it provided more time and focus for the music to grow. In April 2021, they finally "went into the studio" to record their debut album. The choice was made not to crawl into a classical studio, but to loft for a week in a country house in a small town in Zeeuws Vlaanderen: Hoofdplaat. It became the title of their first full album.

For this record the band went in search of the most unadulterated and pure form of themselves. The result is minimalistic and stylized compositions that radiate inner peace. Simple but catchy guitar lines, refined bass parts and purified drum grooves are the main ingredients of this cinematic and melancholic album.

Their infectious blend of jazz, post-rock and instrumental soul produces a unique and compelling sound reminiscent of groups like Khruangbin and closer to home Dans Dans.

The album is recorded and produced by Jeff Claeys, who has produced albums by Millionaire, The Van Jets, Isolde Lasoen and others, and who will also produce the new record by Zwangere Guy.

I have been beating around the bush for some time now with this band. Now I realise it was my own pride that resisted the purchase; This band is greater than I..... This band knows exactly what I like, it feels already what I want to feel in music. I just wasn't ready yet to meet them. I should have trusted this fantastic label. The title of the album says it all......... PlayItLoud!
