    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.

about

First single ‘Trechter’ will be released online via Revanche Records on February 4th. Artwork is made by Regina Tagger, inspired by drawings of the person who this song is about. Trechter symbolises the way they struggle to filter information from the world around them, which causes them to be easily overstimulated. The main character has holes in the so-called 'funnel in their brain’ and tries to close them with a lot of patience, to feel calmer in the long run. The song was recorded live with Tamara’s band; with both sensitive sounds and elements of indie rock.

lyrics

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
