Brussels is a highway where rainbow-fuelled melancholia kids race its track, mountain and road bikes. Endless summers cherish the collective chosen chaos of the city; every corner displays wild micro-natures, buzzing insects, and rare weeds fourishing organically; tape hiss and AM radio compression are the soundtrack of everyday life. And hear! Originated in the Brussels DIY, indie rock and noise scene, a new kid on the block appears: Another Dancer.
They deal in utopian music - of the open, welcoming and whatsoeverish kind. It’s fresh, snotty and neurotic art-rock deeply rooted in 90s and early 00s indie rock aesthetic. The songs on their debut album balance gently between forgotten pop hits and broken sound experiments. In their world, any shitload of weird, random, and badly synchronized
sounds unveil broken-hearted pop mastery. In the Another Dancer universe, radios are stuck to WFMU and Soulseek is a self-conscious AI producing 80ies psychedelic FM-rock.
The Another Dancer is outdated, wild at heart and elegantly shy. Their full album I Try to Be Another Dancer is out now on Bruit Direct Disques and Aguirre Records!
Another Dancer is: Dries Robbe, Margo Mot, Mike Crabbé, Lucas Schreel & Timo Vantyghem.
