Constant Craving was founded a couple of years ago, when Ludovic and Maarten became best friends and started to create music together. Maarten was really into goa-trance, while Ludovic loved dark, melancholic rock. The result was a blend of warm soundscapes with noisy guitars and an occasional beat.
But the music didn't sound complete untill they met Eleanore.
In 2007 they released their first album, Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Music magazine RifRaf called their sound unearthly, a mix of Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack.
After the release they did some concerts in bars like El Negocito, Versteende Nacht, Fatima, ... and some small festivals.
In 2008 the very talented Crimson Stardust made a video of their song 'Lonely Hearts Club'.
In return they made a soundtrack for his short movie 'Lucy'.
After taking time to work on new songs and visuals, IJf has joined them on the drums to start playing live again.

Stolen Nature adeptly bridges the synthetic/organic abyss with uniquely composed granular textures, aleatoric rhythmic patterns and modal jazz structures. The release's arcane theme is unfalteringly cohesive and conceptual from beginning to end. Miller's compositional sensibility on Stolen Nature has reconciled the poles of unadulterated, native sounds and processed, algorithmic music. These two adverse ideas are adroitly synthesized into a hybrid entity that lives and breathes on its own. The stochastic electronics laden deep in Stolen Nature's structure seem to have a sentient quality that hauntingly reflects recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence. The intricate machinations featured on Stolen Nature are inclined to deep personal sentiments and emotion. Cullen's application of traditional instruments takes the antiquated oral tradition and fuses it into a futuristic context.
If you want a hard copy of the CD with the artwork get a hold of me...

Hi there, thank you very much for your comment, we really appreciate it. I'm really glad you like our music, hopefully you'll like the rest of our album when it's out. So stay in touch and take care ;)
Hey, thanks friends. Those are some pretty songs that you've made, I really enjoy them. I made it to Europe safely, thank you, and am preparing to head back home now. How have you been? Well, take care and keep up the good work.
