Description
Exactly two years after ‘Ha Ha Heartbreak’, Warhaus, the solo
project of Maarten Devoldere, returns with a fourth studio
album ‘Karaoke Moon’. Those who remember the
heart-wrenching atmospheres of the previous album will be
surprises by the opener of ‘Karaoke Moon’, the first single ‘
Where The Names Are Real’.
Devoldere had more than 50 songs on the shelf after two years
of disciplined monk-like work. What did the producer say when
he submitted those demos? ‘You can do better’. With time,
Devoldere has learnt that it pays off to trust the right people,
and by right people he means producer Jasper Maekelberg. The
two musical soulmates spent nine months together in a
close-knit collaboration in an attic studio in Bruges. The result is
the most exciting Warhaus album to date.
In Karaoke Moon, Warhaus plays with our modern views on
masculinity. With subtle humour, he smoothly sidesteps
discomfort, poking fun at himself and his kind with
double-edged wit. Quite often, it seems like Devoldere is
shadowboxing with his own thoughts, juggling the concoctions
of his subconscious. But dark soul-searching is not all of it.
Evidence of this is the stunner ‘No Surprise’, initially a pumping
disco track in the demo version, but transformed by Jasper
Maekelberg into a sultry nightclub tune. The contrasts in
Karaoke Moon makes this album grow with each listen,
seducing the listener to delve deeper, layer after layer, line by
line into Warhaus’ unique universe.
