Summer of Baarle concert; Glitterpaard – Thursday Live

Glitterpaard ’Thursday’ In times when music projects are coming out more and more individually, Glitterpaard swears by the power of the group. Glitterpaard is the band of Philip Bosschaerts (Mintzkov), Johan Verckist (Wardrobe), Damien Vanderhasselt (Millionaire), Sarah Pepels (Portland), and Frederik Bastiaensen (Marble Sounds). In 2016, they paid homage to the tragic cult figure Mark Linkous, the man behind Sparklehorse, and in 2022 they came out with their self-titled debut album with their own work. With a whole load of new ideas, Glitterpaard dove back into the Hobokense Studio Swamp not much later. But on a personal level, the band members went through difficult times. With weekly recording sessions on Thursdays, they found a method to try things out in peace, leave some things, and further polish them. The work process behind ‘Thursday’ thus became a therapy and outlet from the everyday big and small worries. The production was again in the hands of the band itself, with drummer Damien Vanderhasselt behind the buttons. Jerboa Mastering provided the finishing touch. The songs on ‘Thursday’ can be counted among the most personal of Bosschaerts and Verckist. Musically, the band sought depth again and created its own world with many layers that do not reveal themselves every time from the first listen. The album also shows the versatility of Glitterpaard: from the disarming, honest heartache of ‘Lost In Your Gold’ to the raw groove of ‘Mythomania’ and from the introspective ‘Quiet Boys’ to the skipping rock of ‘Black Page’ that winks at the Velvets. This evening you can enjoy the album “Thursday” live Listen to one of the new songs here.
