Unplugged, Untold - Bent Van Looy & B.O.X

Three solo records in a surprising baroque ‘back to the future’ makeover. Bent Van Looy wrote songs for Das Pop and for himself. B.O.X plays them on old instruments. What sounds like a gimmick turns out to be a revelation: baroque violin, theorbo, and harpsichord give Van Looys songs a second life in which melody and melancholy cut even sharper. Familiar choruses suddenly sound fragile, new layers allow themselves to be mined. A concert that crosses the bridge between pop and baroque as if it had always been there.
