Description

SPOOK is Nicolas Rombouts (Dez Mona) on double bass, Simon Segers (Black Flower, Absynthe Minded) on drums and Filip Wauters (Het Zesde Metaal) on pedal steel and electric guitar.

The defining sounds of the pedal steel and the very own use of effects pedals in this as well as the sound of the double bass make SPOOK a unique band that not only subsumes jazz, but also Krautrock, minimal, noise and free improv. The trance and melodic drum parts create an energetic tapestry that even invites dancing!

On their new album "The Brood", they create a more contemporary sound. You could almost detect Eastern influences with more meditative improvisations and more abstract repetitive compositions.

The cover is a work by Japanese artist Kumi Sugaï that he created when he stayed in Paris in the late 1960s and discovered abstract art. The work almost symbolizes a kind of cloud of sound that SPOOK dwelled in during the creation of this album. The sound is less "dense" than the first album, but rather open and lighter in color. More air, more clouds.
