Blaudzun

Singer-songwriter Blaudzun, named after an unknown Danish cyclist, writes dreamy songs, wrapped in sober arrangements that through his remarkable voice and the haunting melodies get an almost ecstatic atmosphere.
In 2007 he worked on a special collection of songs, originally intended to be a soundtrack for a midnight car drive. The songs were recorded in a small bedroom, with additional hotelroom recordings in Barcelona and studio sessions in the Netherlands.
Inspired by love and lies, autumn sun and summer nights at the beach, these tunes are breathtaking. His self-titled debut is an album on which melancholy and hope argue with each other, to finally end in an intense embrace. Listeners have labelled the album as a surprising and wonderful debut. ;p;
On the album Blaudzun is supported by his brother Jakov on guitars and lap steel, Michiel van Elk on accordion and René Dufry on drums. The recordings are mixed by Dutch indie producer Martijn Groeneveld @ Mailmen Studio.
