VI.BE

Er vallen alweer drie nieuwe plaatjes te vinden op het 22tracks-kanaal van Poppunt. Deze keer viel ons deskundig oog op drie artiesten die weten hoe je een nummer schrijft. Omschrijvingen hieronder!

Piquet

Piquet is yet another new and promising band that chooses its mother tongue as its means of expression. With success! Piquet first emerged during the 2013 Limbomania contest and has since been refining its sounds and songs, with a soon-to-be-released debut EP and a busy touring schedule as a result. The foursome creates indierock with some eclectic influences like pop, psychedelics and noise. The main attributes are solid musicianship and of course the versatile vocals of singer Lien Moris. Take for example ‘Parkiet’, a lovely and absurd track about the parakeet petting the dog.

Fodiator

The things we learn while selecting these 22tracks! Apparently, a “fodiator” is a genius of the flying fish family. Next to that, it’s also a project started by songwriter Joris van Ooij in his attic. He’s an self-taught musician who creates his songs alone and then performs them with his Dutch-Belgian band. Van Ooij likes to create an atmospheric and melancholic blend of indie, pop and folk, that reminds us of what makes acts like Efterklang, Menomena and Guillemots so great. Great stuff for the winter that is coming.

Coyote Melon

Coyote Melon brings a fun mix: at its core, this is purebred pop music, but at the right times, this four-piece from Ghent releases some fun rock riffs to switch things up. That way, the music always retains a refreshing edge and never gets corny. Other qualities include the bands strong sense of melodies and its vocal harmonies. The quality songs they produce recently got the band selected for the Oost.Best! contest; it’ll be exciting to see how far they get!
