Nudged by his fear of proximity and judgement, Gilles Balcaen (vocals) locked himself up in his attic to finish some songs from an old, never-released project. Feelings of being a weirdo, an alien that’s been dropped into the world have always spooked him. Sure, he can’t be the only person experiencing such mental fabrications right? Thus Broken Dutch was born, to share a message and to hopefully extend a helping hand. “You are okay, and though you may not feel that way, you’re one fine specimen of local fauna.”

That’s what Broken Dutch stands for: creating deeply resonating pop songs, to be performed in a slightly berserk Rock ’n Roll fashion.
