DVKES

Na het bejubelde debuut (“Push Through”) staat DVKES (uit te spreken als: Dukes) te trappelen met een nieuwe plaat. De band die al meermaals bewees over een stevige portie talent te beschikken (Humo’s Rockrally, De Nieuwe Lichting 2020 en opgepikt door KEXP) nam producer Micha Volders (Whispering Sons, The Sore Losers) onder de arm voor zijn tweede langspeler.

Volders trok de band uit zijn comfortzone en het resultaat is een eigenzinnige mix van krautrock, psychedelica en vroege elektronica. Indie pur sang! DVKES verrast bovendien door vrouwenstemmen toe te voegen aan het instrumentarium. Vrouwenstemmen? Ja, én niet van de minste! Lara Chedraoui (Intergalactic Lovers), Naomi Symons (Reena Riot) en Ciska Vanhoyland (Mon-o-Phone) wilden maar al te graag samenwerken met dit Antwerpse trio.

De hypnotiserende grooves, het snijdende gitaargeluid, de wijdse synths en de catchy songs worden in een smaakvol atypisch jasje gestoken. Je hoort onweerstaanbare indierock met een knipoog naar Talking Heads, Raymond Scott, Tame Impala, Goat en Devo.

Het moge duidelijk zijn: DVKES is een band die niet voor één gat te vangen is en een nieuwe interessante weg inslaat.

After their acclaimed debut ("Push Through”) DVKES (pronounced as Dukes) is very eager to release a new album in 2021. The band – which has already proven to be quite talented (Humo's Rockrally, De Nieuwe Lichting 2020, airplay on KEXP) – has hired producer Micha Volders (Whispering Sons, The Sore Losers) for their second album.

Volders pushed the band out of its comfort zone and this resulted in an new album filled with a mix of krautrock, psychedelia and early electronics. Indie rock in its purest form! DVKES surprises by adding female voices to their set of instruments. Female voices? Yes, and not just any voices! Lara Chedraoui (Intergalactic Lovers), Naomi Symons (Reena Riot) and Ciska Vanhoyland (Mon-o-Phone) were very happy to collaborate with this Antwerp based trio.

DVKES’ hypnotic grooves, edgy guitars, atmospheric synths and catchy songs get a tasteful and atypical twist on the new album. You’ll hear irresistible indie rock with references to Talking Heads, Raymond Scott, Tame Impala, Goat and Devo.

Let it be clear: DVKES is a versatile band that is choosing an interesting new path.
