Unmistakably Balthazar, Losers unfurls engulfed in disco beats and falsetto vocals whilst furthering their journey from the rejuvenated environs of 2018’s Fever. Filmed on location in Belgium, the accompanying video features the entire band in various guises and calls to mind memories of a (ny) 70’s crime series that depicts the track’s narrative in a literal manner. Led by Jinte Deprez and Maarten Devoldere who unite both on writing duties and as frontmen, Balthazar continue to satisfy their thirst for the less rigid parameters that resulted whilst working on 2018’s Fever. Refining their approach to writing, the subsequent recording and following their own solo excursions Jinte, under the nom de plume J.Bernardt with his R&B infused Running Days and Maaarten with the louche, torch song influenced Warhaus – the fluidity and uninhibited process provided an alternative and altogether less restrictive blueprint. One that was undoubtedly aided by their own solo projects. As Maarten comments; “we did a lot of things that we haven’t done previously – we’ve never used as many drum samples or used bass synths before. So that was an exciting step for us.” Jinte interjects; “it was a very modern way of making an album, due to the constraints of the pandemic and we had to work remotely and converse electronically rather than in a studio.” It follows then that Sand, a soulful alt-pop embrace albeit less encumbered from the melancholic shackles of the past pursues this newfound road whilst providing the two writers and the band with their most cohesive album to date. Highlighting the nuances of love, loss and life, Sand sees the writing duo of Devoldere and Deprez hitting new heights no more so than with the majestic On A Roll, glitchy undertones and sumptuous vocals propel this track to the fore but it’s one of many. The dexterity of Devoldere and Deprez distinctive vocals are a highlight on the lovelorn narrative of You Won’t Come Around, whilst the rapturous Linger On provides yet more pop bliss bookending the album comes the louche, jazz-tinged Powerless. As Jinte further explains; “the idea was always to drop another album as soon as possible after Fever. It was fun and we wanted to build on that.” That feeling is reinforced with Maarten saying; “I can’t wait to play this album live because on the Fever tour we pushed the groove element further. The album’s artwork features a piece by renowned Dutch sculptor Margriet Van Breevort who specialises in hyper-realistic sculptures. This was originally commissioned by a medical centre in Holland and is one of many that are synonymous with the artist. Entitled Humunculus Loxodontus aka The One Who Waits, representing as Maarten explains; “the way you feel when in a waiting room, obliged to wait and feeling self-conscious and awkward. The more we researched it the more it fitted the idea of the album.” A surreal and somewhat alienating image – difficult to pin down, much like the trademark cinematic instrumentation, pop energy and melodies that inhabit the musical world of Balthazar As they conclude; “there’s a theme running through these tracks, waiting, restlessness, not being able to live in the moment or putting your trust into the future. We’re at a point in our lives when we have to consider these aspects of life, that’s why the album is called Sand – after the sand in an hourglass.” Artist Balthazar Genre Rock And Pop Label PIAS Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 Moment 2 Losers 3 On A Roll 4 I Want You 5 You Won't Come Around 6 Linger On 7 Hourglass 8 Passing Through 9 Leaving Antwerp 10 Halfway 11 Powerless Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Balthazar View Product Quick View Balthazar Thin Walls Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Thin Walls £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR780LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Balthazar Rats Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Rats £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR590LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Balthazar Fever Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Fever £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR1055LPXX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Balthazar Applause Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Applause £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR270LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Balthazar Sand Castle Tapes Rock And Pop | Play It Again Sam | 1LP Released 29th April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Sand Castle Tapes £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Play It Again Sam SKU: PIASR1250LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Balthazar Rats Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP Released 25th February 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Balthazar Rats £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR590LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Balthazar Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Graham Parker Cloud Symbols Rock And Pop | 100% | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th September 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham Parker Cloud Symbols £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 100% SKU: 100LP84 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trwbador Trwbador Folk | Owlet Music | 1LP Released 1st April 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trwbador Trwbador £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Owlet Music SKU: OWLET007LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Foreign Tongues Fragile, As Said Before Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | No Sleep Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th March 2024 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Foreign Tongues Fragile, As Said Before £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: No Sleep Records SKU: nn283434 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Felt Bubblegum Perfume Rock And Pop | 1972 | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd March 2023 £34.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Felt Bubblegum Perfume £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1972 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Books, The Music For A French Elevator and Other Oddities Rock And Pop | Temporary Residence | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st October 2013 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Books, The Music For A French Elevator and Other Oddities £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Temporary Residence SKU: TRR206LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ultravox Ha!
