Pierre Vervloesem - Pierre Vervloesem's Flambant Neuf (2021)

Pierre Vervloesem's Flambant Neuf is the return of Pierre in a quintet format. Surrounded by some of the best Belgian musicians with whom he shared music already in various bands (Bruno Vansina band, Flat Earth Society, Pierre Vervloesem Group…), Pierre allowed everyone to add what they wanted on his tracks then mixed the music to a grand spectacle which reminds various styles but with a definitive modern and vigorous joy behind them!

The music on this album was conceived or premeditated for a band by Pierre who recorded all the bases on guitar and bass then emailed the result to each guest musicians (all of them met when he was playing with Flat Earth Society or before on different projects). It was then up to each of them to add whatever they wanted. Once Pierre received back all the recordings, he started to edit, mix and master all the parts to become this album, which is made of energetic music which reminds one at times of Mike Patton, a modern crazy Tito Puente or Duke Ellington on coke!

Guitarist Pierre Vervloesem has been described as "Belgium's Frank Zappa," although his inimitable talents – he is a fine electric bassist and also noted for his skills in engineering, mixing, and/or mastering his own recordings and those of his colleagues – place him in his own league.
