Jan Swerts - Anatomie Van De Melancholie (2013) Lossless

“Some music is so uniquely beautiful that it can compete with silence, and 'Weg’, the two-year-old debut by Jan Swerts, certainly belongs to that category. His new release is more elaborately arranged but, apart from those strings, guitar, bugle, trumpet, natural sound samples and abstract vocals, the piano continues to take centre stage in this autumn-inspired album.

Swerts ventures between the vocal grandesse of Sigur Rós and the intimacy of Wim Mertens while setting the same high standard. The artwork, with paintings by artists who have influenced the album, is almost as beautiful as the music itself"
