Minimal Wave is happy to present an LP of tracks by Belgian synthwave luminaries The
Misz, entitled The Lonely Crowd. The Misz formed in Gent, Belgium in 1983 by Jan Van
den Broeke and Dries Dekocker at a time when they had both just relocated from the
country. They lived on the same street and collaborated freely with the limited
equipment they had, which always centered around the Fostex 250 4-track tape
recorder. They used an unknown monophonic synthesizer, casio synths, roland drum
machines, hand drums and guitars through effects pedals, improvising with their
voices and often included friends for additional voices and sounds. They captured
these sonic experiments and sometimes released them on cassette (It AinÆt all
Garbage, 1984 - Eddy Merckz, 1985 - Violence and Love, 1987) in very limited editions
of 100-200. They were also included on numerous cassette compilations throughout the
1980s on labels like Mad In Belgium, The Cassette Factory, 3RIO Tapes, Minimart
production, Fraction Studio, Cauchy Productions, Home Product, R.R. products, ZNS
Tapes, and Body Records. They described themselves as young, immature and bit strange
yet totally bold and fearless. They sang about what surrounded them from world
politics and environmental catastrophes to love and lust. The songs on The Lonely
Crowd span from various cassette releases and have been remastered from their
original reel to reel tapes. The LP is pressed on 180 gram vinyl as a limited edition
of 600 copies, the first 300 are in white and the remaining 300 in black. The cover
and inner sleeve are printed on matte heavy card stock featuring photographic
collages, typography and design by Peter Miles. Release date is April 23, 2019.
