YES RELEASE DAY !!!
‘Dark Dog’ is out now on all streaming platforms via Wellington Records. The album has been pressed on limited vinyl and is available through the Wellington Records webshop (check the #linkinbio) and via DM. It will soon also be available in selected record stores (updates to follow).
Many people contributed to this album, and I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me throughout this artistic journey. First and foremost, my thanks go to the musicians who collaborated on the music for ‘Dark Dog’: Frie Mechele, Klaas Tomme, Esther Coorevits, Renaud Debruyne, Jonas Bruyneel and Jan D’Haene.
Thank you to Merel Van de Casteele for the beautiful artwork, and to Flore Deman for the album design. Kristin Keller and Jonathan Gray for revising the lyrics. Pauwel, Kevin Imbrechts, and other friends and musicians who listened to the first demos and offered their honest feedback.
Thanks to Jonas Bruyneel for producing, Bert Vliegen for mixing, and Laurens Grossen for mastering the album. Filip Tanghe for letting us use some mic’s. Jasper Vanhauwaert for creating all the visuals for the singles. Damon De Backer for the album photography.
Special thanks to everyone who inspired me while writing the lyrics for ‘Dark Dog’, or who supported me from the sidelines. To those who encouraged me to keep making music. In particular, Irene Coomans, who transformed me as a musician. My wife Siel Verhanneman, for her patience and love throughout this process. My friends and family —
@fermamentosteopaatjoren , Sophie & Luc.
Finally, thanks to Dranouter Centrum, and especially Steven Reynaert, Wilde Westen & 4AD, for their expertise in securing the album’s funding. Flanders State of the Art for their financial support.
And thank you for listening.
I’m celebrating the release of ‘Dark Dog’ with an album release show on January 24 in Kortrijk. Info & tickets via the #linkinbio, where you’ll also find the link to listen to the album.
