Dendermonde // Konzert

In the organizer's words:

Frederik Heuvinck's almost machine-like rhythm lays the foundation. It is reinforced by the playful bass of Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. Elko Blijweert and his guitar conjure up a different atmosphere for each track: from transfigured cosmos to unadulterated heaviness - and pretty much everything in between. This is how the Belgian band Dendermonde describes the structure of their songs layer by layer. The longer pieces in particular show the influences of Can, Neu! and other Krautrock bands. They build up slowly, remain insistent and swell to an inevitable climax. The shorter pieces, on the other hand, lean more towards the electro of the Chemical Brothers or even punk and explode immediately. And yet all the songs belong to the same universe. Rhythm-driven body rock (a self-invented term, not to be taken too seriously) that sets the body in trance-like motion.
