HIGH HI

From the rich Belgian clay, this trio has confidently created its own space where experimentation and sharp pop sensibility perfectly merge. Het Antwerpse trio - Anne-Sophie Ooghe (vocals, guitar), Dieter Beerten (vocals, drums) and Koen Weverbergh (bass) - started with a dreamy, shoegaze-inspired style that gradually developed into a subtle balance between introspection and hooks. Their characteristic sound - recognizable yet difficult to categorize - caught the attention of M83 and connoisseur Steve Lamacq, whose early support on the BBC ensured international recognition. The band's work, especially the breakthrough album "Firepool" and the more ambitious successor "Return to Dust", shows a group that consistently pushes boundaries without losing accessibility. In an indie landscape that is increasingly repetitive, they have staked out their own territory - suggesting that their most impressive work is yet to come. That is exactly what they showcase on their latest album 'Noonday Demon'.
