Rhythms from the Schelde Valley

by FC Atlaska

supported by

friend2dawgs For fans of Ali Farka Toure or Lanterna’s release Highways - with a little sprinkle of Daniel Lanois.

Such interesting contradiction in how this record sounds so big, like its echoing up from a vast canyon, but at the same time, so intimate and nuanced. It is beautifully crafted with lush layers of sound that draw you deep inside the music, while its cinematic feel takes you outside the music on a journey of your own imagination.

thomasbayes Superb and impeccable debut from FC Atlaska. Love the Pink-Floyd-meets-Alice-Coltrane vibe on 'Two Moons Away', the dark-but-relaxing atmospheric 'Sergio' and the desert-blues-from-next-door 'Tajine with Valeir' (which sounds like a most intriguing dish!). Favorite track: Two Moons Away.

about

Happy to finally share our debut EP with all of you. We had a good time refining and polishing these five tracks on ‘‘Rhythms from the Schelde Valley’. Hope you like it x 

Many thanks to our producer Jasper Segers for working on these songs with us. We are extra proud of the details and rich layers of atmosphere. It feels like a dreamy odyssey with a chill, psychedelic vibe. Also a shout out to Seppe Vermeeren for working together in Johnny Green Giant Studio (Oostakker) and contributing to one of the tracks. Finally, much love to all our friends, family and loved ones for the beautiful support. We look forward to seeing you all again at a FC Atlaska concert next year.
