I admit, I’ve been keeping this band <\/a>secret for a while now because well, sometimes I like to just keep some of the things that inspire me all to myself for a little bit before I share it with the world. You know? Anyway, when I first heard them play live last year it was at the invitation of my dear friend Simone who is the violinist in the band, and it was at the Lloyd Hotel<\/a>. It was just a casual, mid-week gig, sitting around in a small corner of the restaurant which made it so wonderfully intimate – I was instantly captivated by their music: a little dark, a little folk, a lot melancholic and utterly enchanting.<\/p>\n

They have just launched their first album under the new band name Point Quiet <\/a>(previously known as White Sands). Before I bought the album last week, I had been playing their song anchors and birds<\/a> over and over again – it’s repetitive actions like this that tell me I need to take it the next level. So I bought the album at their last gig and now, I can listen to the whole album on my ipod while I walk along the Amstel – completely day enhancing, to say the least.<\/p>\n

They have a gig coming up at Theater Bellevue<\/a>, on the Leidsekade<\/a> this coming Monday, April 26 at 8:30pm, with another couple of local bands, tickets are \u00e2\u201a\u00ac13 (click here<\/a> for more info although it’s all in Dutch) – I think it’s going to be a lovely evening and I’m aiming to pull myself away from the writing desk to be there, I’d love to see you there too.<\/p>\n

………………………………………<\/p>\n

+listen to some of their songs here<\/a>.
\n+buy their album here <\/a>(in the netherlands and belgium) and here on itunes<\/a> (US and rest of the world).
\n+ come to the gig on monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

+There are lots of songs I am particularly fond of on the album (including long may you hide, <\/em>venom minds<\/em>, and the hidden track<\/em>) but just to give you an idea of how beautiful their music is, please take a listen to anchors and birds<\/a> while you read the lyrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

xx<\/p>\n

PS Their cover album reminds me of this photographer’s work <\/a>that I just posted on facebook<\/a>. Volcanoes, smoke, horses… synchronicity at it’s finest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
