Featuring twelve new tracks.
Belgian artist Biesmans has announced his plans to release his debut album, titled ‘Trains, Planes & Automobiles’. The record will be available on June 4th, as a digital download and vinyl, via Watergate.
‘What began as a challenge to fight creative stagnation, soon grew into a fully-fledged audiovisual project for Belgian DJ, producer and live artist, Biesmans. Setting himself the goal of making three tracks per week for a month, he rescored ‘80s pop culture moments including films, TV shows, and games, resulting in a brilliant 12 track work encompassing Electro, Synthwave, Indie, Disco and beyond,’ describes the press release.
‘I started this as a lockdown challenge, in which I would make three tracks per week for a month, alongside providing video where I rescored footage of 80s pop culture moments. Inspired by the movie of the same name, I picked the title because it ties to the theme of ‘mobility’. Our society is based upon being mobile and when Corona hit us, we could taste a bit of being immobile. As an artist that meant, I could focus on making music 100%. No distractions, no weekend gigs, no parties just making music. This new lifestyle resulted in my first album. A journey into the past but looking forward to the future, experimenting with other genres and techniques to make a real album that goes beyond club music,’ says Biesmans about his debut album.
In anticipation of the release of the full-length album, Biesmans also shared a first single, titled ‘Cold Void’. The EP, which contains the titular single featuring Tom The Bomb & Boi Wonder, ‘When Will It Stop’, and a remix by Moscoman & Komilev, will be out on April 30th.
