In the studio, the band works closely with producer Oscar de Jong (Kraak & Smaak). Their debut album Echo Echo (Sonar Kollektiv, 2023) received rave reviews, earned two Edison Jazz nominations, and gained worldwide airplay, including on Jamie Cullum’s BBC programs. The album led to an extensive tour of festivals and venues such as Paradiso, Bimhuis, Transition, So What’s Next, Amersfoort Jazz, RAUW, InJazz, Eurosonic, Jazzahead (DE), and more.
In 2024, WAAN released a live EP capturing the tension and interplay between acoustic musicianship and electronic textures on stage. They are now working on their second album, We Want WAAN, which will be released on January 23, 2026 via Sonar Kollektiv.
