English Version ‘Where the echoes die’ (GAS: Popup Records/Cargo/Amadis; Be-Lux: LCMusic/Nl: ForTheRoad/Coast to coast) TOO TANGLED are an indie-electro-rock duo hailing from Ghent, Belgium. Their new album ‘Where the echoes die’ is released in Benelux (April 2013) Roeland Vandemoortele (Vox, Guitar, Drumbeats) and Eva Buytaert (Vox, Violin, Keys) formed Too Tangled four years ago, and have since released their debut album ‘The Magic Got Killed’ (2010) to very encouraging reviews (a.o. Nr 1 in ‘Underground Top 5’ OOr Magazine) Where they made their first album in a relational hurricane, their new album is driven on the highs and lows of a reunion, about the pains and the gains of living with or without eachother. Their 2nd album, sustained by an interesting mix of a ‘jam and bread diet’ and Roeland participating in medical trial experiments for cash to fund the recordings, was produced by Ian Davenport (whose credits include Radiohead, Band of Skulls & Supergrass). TOO TANGLED recorded the album in a big old building which used to be a boxing club in Ghent, where they captured echoes. With these recordings they traveled to Ian’s studio, a small village just outside Oxford, UK, where they did overdubs & mixing. “Working together with Ian was a great journey, he added a great deal to our sound. We worked late hours and ended the night session with some nostalgic 60’s records.” In September 2012 they released the record in Germany/ Austria/ Switzerland via Popup Records (distributed by Cargo). They did some intensive touring there since September. They also passed by the Vienna Waves Showcase Festival and here’s what the press wrote of their passage: When Belgian duo Too Tangled enters the stage, the room turns into an aural battlefield. There is a tension between Roeland Vandemoortele and Eva Buytaert that transforms their music into a turmoil of sex and lust and hate and love and anger and every other great feeling.’ C-heads Magazine (live review Vienna) ‘Belgian duo Too Tangled are one of our new discoveries. The male-female pairing drop a catchy fashion indie show’ Art Rocker (live Vienna) Their singles have been picked up by many Campus-radio’s aswell as some of the big stations. As such they’ve been invited on radio Eins in Berlin; Klaus Fiehe, ‘the German John Peel’, picked up the album in his exclusive leading radio- show on Einslive; it also got airplay on FluxFM, DRS Virus…. Their music is described as sexy, catchy and subtile agressive. Parallels get drawn with bands such as The Velvet Underground, Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club, John Spencer Blues Explosion, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Kills, Nancy Sinatra; and they get praised as well for their ‘own fresh sound’. The album got released in Benelux in april. About their release show @ Ancienne Belgique: Too Tangled was able to evoke the first ‘goosebumb-moment’ of the evening. With a very impressive version of Wrecking Ball, they were able to silence the whole AB Club, and during the intimate part of the song you couldn’t hear a sigh. The rest of the show they kept on going in that vibe (Concert review – Fuzz Mag) ‘Where the echoes die’ is hosted by GreenLFant/LC Music Be-Lux and For The Road/Coast to Coast NL. The first reviews and reactions in Benelux are very promising. Among others ‘De Standaard’ (Belgian National newspaper) headlined: ‘Raw love doesn’t rust’. Also the Dutch legendary rock’n roll-journalist/radio-maker Mr Jan Douwe Kroeske is giving the album the attention it needs. In between tours, they are working on a new album … Estimated release spring 2014 To Be continued
