The record 'Tussen Lagen' gives voice to stories that are both unknown and hopeful, with intimate and experimental sides. A small research in the experiences of psychologically vulnerable people results in lyrics and artwork that I created together with them. The music was written with artists from different genres; so it's become a record with a wide, dynamic sound. Indietronic-NL-pop with a calm voice and extraordinary use of instruments; with influences of My Brightest Diamond to Blur.

Trechter (English below)
Men zei mij: “Doe maar gewoon”
Begrijp het niet verkeerd
In tweeën mijn persoon
Maar wat is dat precies?
Op de grenzeloze achtergrond
Met het filter constant uit
Teken ik een overzicht
Dat trots werd gebruikt
Dat is hoe je denkt en voelt
Door de hoofdpijn ben ik kwijt
Hoe te kleuren met mijn omgeving
Dit is uit balans
Dat is mijn bewustzijn
Ik ging over mijn grens
Het blauwe is wat ik leerde
Dit is uit balans
Dat is mijn bewustzijn
Ik ging over mijn grens
Een trechter, een vergiet
Die verticale lijn ben jij
English translation:
Funnel
People told me: Just keep it simple
Please don’t get me wrong
My personality split in two
But what is that precisely?
Through my boundless background
Everything unfiltered
I drew an overview
That is treated with pride
That’s the way you think and feel
Due to headaches - I’m unable
To blend with colour in my surroundings
This is out of balance
And that is my awareness
In time I strained myself
The blue is what I learnt
This is out of balance
And that is my awareness
In time I strained myself
A funnel, a sieve
That vertical line is you
Tamara van Esch’s new record ‘Tussen Lagen’ (double meaning: in between layers / layers in between) is released via Concerto Records both on vinyl and CD. She gives voice to unknown stories that are hopeful, with both intimate and experimental sides. A small research into the experiences of psychologically vulnerable people results in lyrics and artwork that was created together with them. Music was written with artists from different genres; so the record has a wide, dynamic sound. Indietronic-NL-pop with a calm voice and extraordinary use of instruments; with influences of My Brightest Diamond to Blur.
