Since I saw them in Paradiso in 2023 these guys have been on my continuous watchlist, both for new releases and live performances. Hard to catch them though, their shows are sold out in a minute. People in Amsterdam seem to be very well aware that Weval is a premium export article of this country and don’t hesitate to rush to see them whenever there’s the chance.
This is another great album, being super consistent with their sound but providing enough new material to listen to. Masterfully done, maybe even a bit too calculated. But hey, the end result is still good music, so far so good. It’s mid-tempo electronic music blending genres and just pleasing to listen to. I feel a kinship with Jamie XX, which also works for putting them on that non-genre-specific electronic music line of artists, which are kinda leftfield for pop but more mainstream than underground.
