comforter2 - Tell Me Something Happy (Before I Fall Asleep) (2023)

Comforter2 is the new baby of Meetsysteem, Tammo Hesselink & Marianne Noordzij. Born from a residency space in Arnhem as they were being snowed in over the pandemic, comforter2 is a band for club heads and a club act for band heads. Sometimes two worlds meet - and through this conversation love is found - that’s a quote from the album. We’ve included the full lyrics per track below so you can read along.

16 fresh, club-leaning, indie pop/rock tunes that we’ll release on cassette as well as digitally. The tracks are formed by all members: Tammo’s knack for bass and rhythms, Meetsysteem’s songwriting skills (the album in English) and glued together by Marianne’s designs and voice, adding a touch of blissful psychedelia.

It’s an honest, upfront album about the highs and lows of modern life, seen through the eyes of ravers at their peak. It lends their sound a sense of alluring melancholy, a beautifully bittersweet sense of mood that stays with you long after the rhythms have finished. Like lullabies, for the dancefloor.

Live the three are accompanied by Sjoerd Bartlema on drums and Fokke de Wit on bassguitar. The Band has already played in Londen, on Draaimolen, Garage Noord and MIL Lisboa.
