PIERRE VERVLOESEM - 2020

  • pierre vervloesem: 2020
        (2021, download, --, bandcamp)

More than a year ago, Pierre Verloesem decided to record one album per month. Each time with different rules. We've been treated to a soundtrack for a mini series, a dance album, the flash-back "Influenza" album, a follow-up to his "Rude" album, and many more.

Although not all of these are a huge success ("Electronicaca" being my least favorite. Maybe I should give it another listen.), there's quite some gems to be found in this collection.

Pierre's latest release, "2020", looks back at a year of Covid-19. As Pierre states in the liner notes: "2020 was a nerve-wracking year you won't fail to notice if you're still alive".
And that's exactly what one can hear listening to the 15 tracks on "2020".

15 instrumental tracks. Just guitar, bass and drums.
Loaded with short guitar riffs and changing tempos, the tracks will take you in every direction possible.

No lyrical guitar solos but an impressive set of powerful (sometimes even dark and menacing) tracks.

Essential listening.
Check it out & buy the album.
