In 2010 a new sound emerged on the Belgian airwaves.
The vulnerable, murmuring, melancholic, hissing and zooming sounds of
Amatorski were discovered during Humo's Rock Rally. Everybody
immediately fell in love with the band's debut Same Stars We Shared;
a short work of art with only four magical songs which carried an
exquisite and pure sound, dusted with soft, reserved, child-like
vocals mumbling stories of love and heartbreak.
The nostalgic Come Home surprisingly conquered all the charts and got
airplay on all national radio stations, including the alternative
station Studio Brussel and Radio 1. At the end of this glorious year,
Amatorski got nominated for the Belgian Music Industry Awards in the
categories 'breakthrough artist', 'best artwork' and 'best song of
the year'.
However, this only appeared to be a prelude to a far richer, more
sonic universe. Amatorski's second release is more diverse; youÆll
still hear the hisses and crackles, but some tracks have more
elaborate arrangements interspersing electronic ingredients with
delicate orchestrations. The fragile voice of Inne Eysermans still
forms the backbone of the songs, but is occasionally supported by the
vocals of guitar player Sebastiaan Van den Branden.
This time around, the band has painted using more poignant and varied
colours.
Earlier this year, Amatorski went to London, where Darren Allison's
(Efterklang, Belle & Sebastian, The Divine Comedy) analogue mixing
desk and tape recorders were used to add that final spark of magic to
the songs splattered with emotive, dramatic colours emitting a bleak,
ominous, dreamy, emotional, silencing, noisy, and minimal feel.
If you listen to the new Amatorski, your dreams will be haunted and
your mind, echoed by sounds of Portishead, Massive Attack,
Sparkehorse, Ornette Coleman or the gloomy children's song from
Eraserhead.
