——— NELE DE GUSSEM (BE)
Ghent-based singer-songwriter and composer Nele De Gussem (Uma Chine) has today announced her debut solo album The Loom Of Longing, out February 7 2025 on Viernulvier Records.
De Gussem has delivered a sensational album of mystic pop, psychedelic ambiance and pulsating electronica. To shape her divine harmonic universe, she has a preoccupation with soundscaping that involves using her sensual voice and electronic/analog instruments as a sort of palette of rich textures where she’s the auteur, as opposed to the cog in a bigger machine as she’s been with her band, Uma Chine.
“This album celebrates having found desire as a compass in my life and as a medicine to quell fear, holding back and keeping silent.” — NELE DE GUSSEM
The cracking first single from the album - ‘Wonder’ comes with an by Belgian visual artist Victor Verhelst (STROOM). Verhelst crafts a unique collage of 90s computer game- inspired motion graphics, which has an otherworldly appeal and highly symbiotic relationship with the music. Rarely do the marriage of visual and musical arts come together so invitingly.
——— TRISTANNE (UK)
Sexy Tears marks the beginning of a new era for Tristanne: on her second album she seduces you to enter a tantalizing unknown place, where Piero Umiliani’s vibrant 70’s grooves lure you with a whisper of panting tension into a sonic spectrum of angelic Oneohtrix Point Never synths, transcending you in a new sleazy and hazy state of mind.
Tristanne will hit you straight in the heart, like a modern-day Cupido with a well aimed dazzling sonic arrow. Ready to stay there forever. Under her stage name Tristanne (formerly known as Tristan), Isolde Van den Bulcke makes music she defines as sitting in a ‘grey zone’. By valorizing self-reliance and learning as much as possible from the get-go, the musician and producer hasn’t let hardship nor pursuing a niche genre hold her back. She studied jazz vocals for 8 years, released 2 ep's before her debut album 'Wellif' in 2022.
In 2024 she created and self produced 'Sexy Tears', her second album, which will be released on the Belgian imprint Cortizona in April 2025. On this album she gets help from musicians Elisabeth Klinck (violin), Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė (kanklès), Kaat Vanstraelen (flute) and Gert Malfliet (drums).
