NORDMANN

Thursday 4 November 2021 8374

The Belgian jazz rock band Nordmann was born in 2012. The combination of the freedom of improv-jazz with the power of rock has earned them a Music Mosaic Award and a silver medal at the Humo’s Rock Rally. On the debut album ‘Alarm’ (2015) they managed to capture the power of their performances in one record. The next album ‘The Boiling Ground’ gave them a tour of more than 50 performances in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic. Now this band will perform with their latest album ‘In Velvet’ on November 4 in PAARD.

It is now time for a new chapter, a new evolution of Nordmann in the form of ‘In Velvet’, a layered studio album that wraps itself like a warm blanket around the listener and where rock is exchanged for electronica. A coherent, compact sounding record on which the personal evolution of the individual musicians and the influence of wanderings in other projects can be heard in the whole. Songs and melody are central, while the instrumentation has been expanded with drum computers and synths to give shape to the wildest ideas.

“ . De titel In Velvet doet een lieflijk en zacht, misschien zelfs erotisch, album vermoeden, maar niets is minder waar. Er staat je bijna drie kwartier instrumentale muziek te wachten die zowel invloeden van slepende rock en melancholische jazz heeft. Het is een donker werk dat van het begin tot het eind je aandacht weet vast te houden. “
