Victor De Roo

Potent midnight melancholy from Brussels, featuring Victor De Roo debuting under his own name after introductions made as Vanderschrick on a delectable 7” for Stroom. Picking up where his 7” left off, and with more room to play with, De Roo unfolds his sound along more lonesome, lofty lines with the chirruping tape nose and hushed downbeat delivery of "Gewoon", before penning the kind of red-lit synth-pop we could imagine cropping up in a Gaspar Noé flick with the slick but brooding dungeon boogie of "Voorbenachte Rade". On the other side, the artist’s Belgian synth heritage bleeds thru in the floating spectral figures of "Beland In Bed", and the EP’s title cut regresses to a sort of smacked-out drone rock dirge recalling Clay Rendering as much as Pseudo Code.
