“Sometimes a pop-year has a rightful owner” is what we wrote in ‘10 when Beach House appeared in AB before a sold-out house during the Autumn Falls festival. Their third album ‘Teen Dream’ made us melt at the time and we realised: perfect pop music does still exist. Around that time, Baltimore’s indie-droom-pop duo Beach was also bestowed with words of praise from Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold (with whom they toured in ‘09), which created a real buzz. NME, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone didn't hide their admiration either. Now, two years later, there's the album ‘Bloom’, which catapults Beach House into the highest indie-pop ranks. 9.1 proclaimed Pitchfork. We just got to work and organised a concert. For you. Because we're secretly die hard fans ourselves.

Holy Other
Just mention ▼ and you should already be able to see the flames of hell burning. Tri▼Angle is indeed the flagbearer of the witch-house genre that had its first big showcase in Belgium earlier this year in AB, with the likes of Balam Acab, oOoOO and Holy Other. The revelation of that week turned out to be the illustrious latter. Goddeau on that: “a Tri▼Angle-classic in the making.” De Morgen crowned him with **** and wrote: “Holy Other wandered through music history in an ingenious, extremely refined manner, with winks to '80's sounds and James Blake.“ Also: “It scorched. It cracked. It clicked. It won you over within quarter of an hour.” In anticipation of his debut, that is to be released this summer, you can now sate yourself on his EP ‘With You’ that Pitchfork described as: “an ultimately rewarding piece of work.”
