Warhaus presents new track "Bruxelles", debut album out on Sept 2nd
Warhaus -- the solo recording project of Maarten Devoldere -- debuts a new track “Bruxelles” today on The 405. “Bruxelles” is taken from Warhaus’ forthcoming debut album “We Fucked A Flame Into Being”, which will be released through Play It Again Sam on September 2nd. “A masterpiece full of intrigue, tension, carnal tones, and just a damn cool record.” – The 405
“Bruxelles ma belle. It's a break-up song about leaving Brussels. I included tear-jerking violins to make it sound like heartache in its most grotesque form. The girl deserves no less.” – Maarten Devoldere
“We Fucked A Flame Into Being” -- a direct quote from the DH Lawrence novel Lady Chatterley's Lover that Devoldere felt was "too good to pass on!” -- is the perfect title for this collection of songs exploring the shadowy inscrutability of human encounters, and reveling in all the decadent intensity that life offers.
Maarten (who also shares front man duties in acclaimed rock band Balthazar) has until recently kept his Warhaus persona under wraps; but with We Fucked A Flame Into Being he brings to the fore a dark lyrical universe, fueled by desire and passion, and savagely probes its depths. The album is “an ode to love, to its excesses and elusiveness,“ declares Devoldere. Playing Jane Birkin-esque muse and foil to Devoldere’s post-modern Gainsbourg with seductive backing vocals is Sylvie Kreusch (pictured with Maarten on the album cover).
Warhaus will embark on an extensive European tour this autumn – below.
