Hey! Hurry! It's already been announced on their website. Just like Dranouter this summer. Don't delay any longer. Certainly not after his 'sold out album release show' in Les Ateliers Claus. Or after we so enjoyed seeing him support Gotye.

Blaudzun is a Dutch lucky-duck (or odd-fellow, you choose.) Pop is his business. Dynamic, melodic pop that falls between folk and art-rock. ‘Heavy Flowers’ is his masterful, third and - quite rightly - big breakthrough CD (via V2.) ‘Singles Flame On My Head’ and ‘Elephants’ are certainly fine examples of what this song-craftsman is capable of.

His real name is apparently Johannes Sigmond. Multi-instrumentalist with a very distinctive voice. Aesthete and eccentric as, for example, his performing name Blaudzun is borrowed from a rather noble unknown Danish racing cyclist.

Or what we also learn from De Standaard: 'There is a remarkable amount of room for lapsteel and banjo, which refer to the American tradition. 'I often hear that I draw from Americana. Maybe in part, I come from the Pentecostalist movement, I grew up with Christian country but also with Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.'

Beatific music in any case, also for fans of 16 Horsepower, Arcade Fire, Beirut, The Sleepy Jackson...

Support-act will be Irish revelation Adrian Crowley. Here solo, with his newly completed CD on Chemikal via De Konkurrent: 'I See Three Birds Flying'. Also with his previous 'Season Of The Sparks' apparently still 'Album Of The Year' in 2009, in Ireland.
