WHISPERING SONS – LIVE 2024

In the organizer's words:

WHISPERING SONS - LIVE 2024

Belgian five-piece Whispering Sons offer a dark and unique blend of experimental and frenetic post-punk. The driving instruments combined with Fenne Kuppens' deep vocals create a constant sense of unease that has been inherent in their music from the very beginning. With their energetic and captivating performance, the band has established themselves as a must-see live act.

In recent years, Whispering Sons have slowly but surely redrawn their own boundaries and outgrown themselves. While their debut album "Image" (2018) was theatrical and expansive, the following album "Several Others" (2021) focused more on their greatest strength: sheer, unpretentious intensity. After the release of "Several Others", the band began working on a new album over a period of two years.

On February 23, 2024, their third work, "The Great Calm", was released, which might surprise long-time Whispering Sons fans. It is less gloomy than "Several Others" and less pompous than "Image". However, the typical Whispering Sons identity is still present in every song, as the band never strays far from their raw energy and emotion. The new album may be more upbeat and playful, but the dark undertone is still there. The interior of a car destroyed by fire that adorns the album cover is in keeping with this wider sense of renewal.
