He started 2,5 years after the release of his succes record ‘Promises Of No Man’s Land’ with his trilogy ‘Jupiter’. A triptych of records, and the first two, Jupiter Part 1 and Jupiter Part 2, were released in 2017. Now _UP_ is here, the latest hatch from the collection. ‘A more mature harvest’ according to the singer himself. A clear deviation of the first two releases, that doesn’t mean it isn’t connected with each other. The first two records were necessary for Blaudzun to discover his perfect sound. And that is what you hear on _UP_. A fresh, indie rock sound. But as always, with that special Blaudzun sound.
“ Blaudzun weet op een geheel eigen manier mooie, vaak melancholische sfeertekeningen in zijn muziek te combineren met vrolijke liedjes. “
