Johannes Is His Name - Johannes Makes Contact

Johannes Is Zijn Naam makes Dutch-language dream pop. As an unadjusted crooner with a poetic soul, he sings and moves between rhythm boxes and synths. His new album is called Contact and is dedicated to... contact. The lonely character on his debut album opens the door of his cocoon a crack and goes in search of the love that is there for the taking in the hollows of busy existence. He lets light into the darkness, in high-contrast black and white, and counts down with you, to live contact. Wie Johannes Is Zijn Naam knows, knows that during his concerts everything comes together: the dark playfulness of image, word, and act, in electric contact with you, his audience. Perhaps you know him from Johnny Will Be King. For those who love Spinvis with a touch of David Lynch and a wink to Tien Om Te Zien. “Poetic imagery that makes you float with your eyes closed.” - ★★★★ Dansendeberen.be
