VI.BE

clingfilm is an alternative band from Kortrijk, Belgium, formed by Frederik Decruynaere (formerly of The Lumbers) and Stan Tijtgat. Drawing inspiration from shoegaze, post-punk, synth-driven soundscapes and indie songwriting, clingfilm blends hazy textures with sharp melodies, carefully balancing introspection and immediacy.

Their music lives in the tension between atmosphere and structure. Dreamy layers meet restless rhythms, while intimate vocals cut through walls of sound. With influences spanning the raw edge of post-punk to the emotional pull of modern indie and synth music, clingfilm creates songs that feel familiar yet slightly out of reach.

The band’s name is rooted in their origin story. Frederik and Stan met while working together in a kitchen, surrounded by heat, noise, and the everyday rituals of service. That environment shaped both their collaboration and the name clingfilm itself. This background carries into their debut release “Falling For More”, a song about longing, momentum, and the desire to hold onto fleeting moments.

clingfilm is still finding its shape, exploring where genre, mood, and instinct meet.
