Edouard van Praet has been meticulously shaping his own universe for the past three years. Three years of strange, chimerical fusion of styles: between tradition and modernity, smiles and cries. The eccentric dandy is known for inhaling the vapours of classic rock n’ roll and exhaling them into sounds of his own – what we could call Jungian alternative pop-punk-electro-rock-paper-scissors, or, simply put, anti-rock. He explores the diversity of genres while expressing his love for pop melodies.
After two EPs that made waves in Belgium, Edouard is preparing his first album, a logical but daring continuation to his previous experiments ('Doors' in 2021, 'Cycles' in 2022), with more prominent French vocals. He sees his music as a vast playground where guitars are strummed, synthesizers are tweaked, and microphones are roughed up. In the end, you find yourself with a ballad in the style of Tom Waits and Frank Sinatra or a degenerated gabber/trance song.
On stage, Edouard unleashes himself, and that's a constant among his love for contrasts. Accompanied by his band of anti-rockers, he invites you to dive in and surrender yourself to trance.
