Kulturfabrik & Whispering Sons  

Belgian five-piece Whispering Sons brings a dark and unique blend of experimental and frenetic post-punk. Combining elements of no wave, industrial and avant-punk, the anxious and propulsive instrumentation is relentless and eerily abstracted, whilst vocalist Fenne Kuppens’ words, sung in a dramatic and distinctive low register, inject that extra, central tension. With their infamously ferocious live shows Whispering Sons has also firmly cemented themselves as a must-see live band.

Over the last two years, the band have constantly outstripped their own expectations. With every momentous step forward that they take, they redraw the boundaries of what they consider possible then duly go beyond them yet again. 'Several Others' marks Whispering Sons’ first full-length since their 2018 debut 'Image'. Having retreated to the Ardennes during the summer, the band took the strongest parts of their old work and refined them even further. Where ‘Image’ was theatrical and widescreen, this time around they focused more on their greatest strength – sheer, unpretentious intensity.

Support: Cosmokramer

Cosmokramer is the electronic pop music project of Yves Stephany and Olivier Treinen, both battle-scarred acolytes of Luxembourg's alt-pop music scene. They claim balance to be a bitch as their tracks ponder the embrace of a defiantly bittersweet apocalypse. Treinen's melodramatic voice and lyrics are upfront and confrontational. Stephany's electronic musical backing pulses with layered irreverence. Theirs is a confused music for confused and confusing times. Wash the blood down the kitchen sink and get on with it. The dancefloor is open and so is the bar.
